You need to drop out of medical school, right now.

And if you don’t need to…then this blog isn’t for you.

Instead it’s for those who feel frustrated, burnt out, disillusioned, out of options, overwhelmed and right at the end of the line.

It’s for those who joined medical school because they wanted to make a difference/ make their parents proud/ make the most of the good grades they got in school/ make sick people better…

…and then found themselves with various addictions, on their third suicide attempt, with no joy, no purpose and trapped in a pressure cooker of debt, depression, and the expectations of other people.

This blog is for those who feel that they’d “rather die than face the disappointment of those around them”.

This blog is for those who know — deep in their marrow — that something needs to change.

Something. Anything. You’re not sure of what, exactly. You only know that you can’t keep living the way you have been any longer in this “thing” called medical school.

That’s where I was the first time I got kicked out of medical school in 2003.

And having gone through this experience, “survived” it, and coached others in how to make their escape over the last decade…I’m hoping this book gives you 2 things I desperately needed all those years ago.

Hope…and a compass.

Hope, because when you’re under the weight of your own misery, financial obligations, family expectations, no sleep, uninspiring lectures, unrelenting test schedules…you can feel as if you have no way out other than to end your own life.

Hopefully this blog will play a part in shining a light on all the options and possibilities that you can’t see right now.

And once you’ve seen what’s possible, I hope this blog will serve as a compass… to guide you from where you are, to where you want to be.

It’s not a map, because the terrain of each person’s experience is different.

But wherever you are, and whatever you’re feeling right now, How To Drop Out Of Medicine will give you the tools and mental&emotional frameworks to help you successfully navigate whatever you’re facing.

You’ve been talking about making a change, pursuing your dreams and dropping out of Med School for months and even years.
