It makes as much sense as me not going to med school, either. Granted, I'd feel nauseous if I got a med school slot over a male candidate who was better than me - I've never gotten ANYWHERE on anything but merit, and I wouldn't want to. (Example: when I was in the Army, I made sure I maxed out the MALE fitness standards.) My academic scores were good enough, and I could have gotten into med school purely on merit... but I didn't have the money. Of all the stupid things, right? My mother was a teacher, but my father was a financial idiot, and life has unexpected twists. I made do, but I also could have pushed for it... but I made my decision not to push to get insane loans because of the messed-up health care system.
We do need more doctors, and we need to support EDUCATION if we want to have enough doctors to go around.
Yeah... it's messed up. Just as messed up as the insane prices for basic health care.
