I passed my ophthalmology exam a few days ago, and currently doing orthopedics. My ortho professors (proff...?  ) are going to make us work very hard. It's going to be a long 3 weeks.
Oh, and I'm also studying for the USMLE-like test we take after we graduate (which is in 2 years). I'm taking extra classes on weekends, so that leaves me with no free days. I can't even sleep in!
See why I'm depressed?

Med school students have high rates of depression. Or so I have heard. But just think, once you get done with it you will be one of the most highly respected members of society and you'll have a nice paycheck to boot.

Re: Something Positive
Not really, it's not that much here. New graduates earn somewhere between $1000-1250  That's not enough in this country..
Oh, and one thing I didn't mention in previous post, I'm having a bit of relationship trouble, so.. I think that's the main reason..
Why am I posting all this here?!

$1000 - 1250 a month? Wow. That's insulting to the medical profession.

I agree with you. Keep in mind, the rent of a normal, livable apartment is around $500, and the price of gas is $2 a liter. 1 liter is equal to about 0.25 gallons, so that's $8 a gallon. Nice. I just got even more depressed.
Edit: You know what, I just read my post, and I find the fact that we pay $8/g is just hilariously funny

Re: Something Positive
Wow, I'm sorry that you don't get paid hundreds of thousands of dollars annually. You should come to America.  But we have our own problems...The thing is you're still in a highly respective field, and once you get done with it I'm sure you will feel accomplished and that will make it all worth it.
Anyway, I sense a disturbance in your pants. Relationship problems you say?

Re: Something Positive
I'm thinking about going somewhere after I graduate. But I had Canada in mind  I'm not saying I should be paid hundreds of thousands, but 1000 is a bit low, don't you think?
And to your second question, yes, unfortunately. But I'd rather not talk about it, it doesn't look too good right now..
