last Tuesday, i went to the vice dean's office for some issue and we ended up talking about many other things...and one of them is the difference between the studies here in our college in Oman and West Virginia Uni in the US...and among the reasons he mentioned explaining why the students there are better is that many Omani students in our college have entered medicine because of family influences and not by their own choice...and at apoint he said: for the moment, what i really try my best to do is to find those those people and convince them to leave college ASAP coz i can't imagine spending the best years of my life and youth doing something i don't like!!then,,there was a very brief moment of silence,,i don' t know what i have shown or how my expressions were like but he suddenly said in big shock: OMG!!! you are one of them!!!
i took my bag in hurry and said:sorry but i hv to go for my lab..am late..
i left quickly and heard him saying from behind: come and c me again soon!!

and as u said...am in my 4th year..already went through half of it,,what's the use of leaving now??
Life is too short to think about what will happen next. If you want it, get it. If you don't like medicine then you should leave it because your family/whoever got you to enter medicine is not going to stand next to you when you have a 100x exams to write or when you have a patient to answer to or the days when you break down. You will have to answer yourself. What will you tell yourself then? Consider the first 3 yrs of your academics as a graduate degree but beginning from the 4th year onwards... life is just going to get hard and there is no one but yourself to answer to.
It should be about 'No Regrets'. Medicine is after all the service to mankind and not to family.
