@Hamlin Thanks for sharing your story! Not to dissuade you or your dad from going to medical school, but has he considered other health care careers that may be just as rewarding for him but not require the insane 10+ year commitment it takes to become a full fledged practicing physician. I am no expert on this but I’ve heard there’s so many hurdles to jump through and as a parent of a kid who is about to apply to medical school, I can’t imagine having to do it myself! Best of luck with your family’s decision.
