Med school - anyone interested? Well...

Yeah, I am thinking of it... for the last few years now actually... Here's an interesting read, the oldest Med School graduate (not in the US, but elsewhere). It's weird why he went to the PI to get a medical degree, I guess it's like some people going to the Caribbean for theirs...

And how old will you be in four years if you don't go to medical school?

He's Malaysian, so it doesn't seem weird to me that he'd go to the Philippines: it's next door and English is the language of instruction in both countries.

 

Yes, he's Malaysian, but moved to Hong Kong for a few decades... It's not really next door to Philippines... I just find it weird he went through all that to skip residency and go into consulting for a friends company. He could have gotten a PhD for his previous studies instead.

Anyways, my offer is up! No, I'm not like this guy, but he's 53 and grad Med School when he was 51, after he decided to deviate from being a Mechanic... https://www.msn.com/en-us/health/medical/dad-had-success-as-a-mechanic-but-wanted-more-so-he-went-back-to-school-and-became-a-doctor-at-51-exclusive/ar-AA1qBYmQ

Here's the info on how he went from mechanic to medicine, and the institutions he attended to get there... https://www.npr.org/2022/10/05/1126661330/carl-allamby-mechanic-to-physician
