big urban myth

"you need straight A brains to study medicine."

what you need, rather, are:
1. a decent memory,
2. financial backing, and
3. a willingness to work your derriere off.

what you need to enjoy medicine:
1. liking for people, unless you do not intend to practice on them,
2. socio-emotional depth, for the pain and the palaver, and
3. an inexplicable conviction that this is your ordained path.
