“if you struggle with Latin roots and terminology, Medicine isn’t a good match for you anyway”.
You can struggle all you want with Latin roots you want but it doesn’t mean Medicine isn’t a good match for you. It’s more of a memorization thing than an etymology thing. In preclinical years you learn immediately that when profs begin using words like pulmonary, nephrology, hepatic, medulla oblongata, etc, you’ll know what’s being talked about. Although prof might reference etymology in lecture, it’s more a matter of getting up to speed and becoming comfortable using such words on a regular basis that they become ingrained into your way of speaking/thinking than where words are derived from… You can do fine in medicine without knowing Latin roots.
