Guess I will have to go somewhere other than a Pakistan Cricket forum to get medical advise.

hasbeen said:iv decided to quit lol. cant take it nomore. il pray 4 u though
hasbeen said:currently iv done 4yrs at medical school in birmingham. however i took a year out and im thinking about quitting altogether. i did it for my parents and i cant stand medicine to an extent i think about how much i hate it 24 7. im thinking very hard about what step to take next. ie do the one year or quit etc..
what advice would you guys give??
sam1eh said:You've done extremely well, considering how much you hate it. Have you talked to your parents about how much you don't like it, you never know, they might surprise you!
Have you thought about what you might like to do instead?
I was going to say that you have to think about what's most important to you, keeping your parents happy or your happiness but maybe there's a compromise??
hasbeen said:thats the thing. iv wasted 4 yrs. my parents know i dont wana do it but its all about family pride. when i wanted to tke a gap yr, this is what my dad said to me:
" puter dont think after a year you can say abba iv got no heart left in medicine". so from that comment he knows i hate it.
im just thinking what to do next. if i do quit then i probably do another course, business related. the worst part is all the family members ie uncles etc.. call me dr saab![]()

sam1eh said:Its annoying how 'what other ppl will say/think' matters so much to some asian ppl.
I guess you finishing the degree but not practising would not be enough?
Think about this, how will you feel (towards your dad and generally) if you do finish your degree and work as doctor, then think about how you'll feel if you do business or something else you want to do.
I think you might have the option of returning to medicine later on if you do 'quit'?? (If you quit but then decide it would be better to have carried on with it after all)
Does any of that make sense?
hasbeen said:not really) thanks for trying though. the worse thing is, my dad calls me selfish etc... and that vexxes me the most lol considering im doing this for them. etc..
sam1eh said:oh well I think my brains' fried.
It's funny that your dad thinks YOU'RE the selfish onewhen he wants you to do whats going to make HIM happy. Now that doesn't make sense lol No disrespect to your dad.
i dont understand what it is with asian parents too
sam1eh said:Me neither, we have to make sure our generation 'breaks the chain'!
I wanted to do journalism but decided not to go against my parents wishes, guess I'm not as courageous as you 2!
hasbeen said:he still holds a grudge against me because i never applied to cambridge.i really think if i quit now, he would probably disown me or kill me. either way im screwed

finish the year and then think about it. Too much time and effort has been spent already so don't waste it. Are you over qualified to be a Hakeem?hasbeen said:currently iv done 4yrs at medical school in birmingham. however i took a year out and im thinking about quitting altogether. i did it for my parents and i cant stand medicine to an extent i think about how much i hate it 24 7. im thinking very hard about what step to take next. ie do the one year or quit etc..

The thing is you have invested a lot of time, energy and money on this. Just suffer for another year and then think. It is not that you are in the first year of medical school but it is the last year. Do not take a break as you might not go back in time and later regret it or if you do go back you have to play a bit of catch up which means more work. You have some momentum going with studying use ithasbeen said:seems like everyone is advising me to finish my final year. hmm. i guess il have to consider that option. thanks for advice guys
