and also, is dropping spanish a good idea??

If you want to go into the medical field–that is, if you plan on working with patients–then you will be very glad to have studied Spanish. My aunts both work in health care and they’re always calling my mom–a Spanish teacher–for help communicating with Spanish-speaking patients.
Remember, medicine isn’t just about science. It’s about people, too. (Then again, I don’t know whether you aspire to be a health-care provider or a research doctor. Foreign language probably isn’t as important to a research doctor as it is to a doctor [or nurse or technician or…] who actually works with patients.)
