How hard is medicine?

depends what you mean!

The college part, exams, academic and so on, really are very do-able IMO. The study part is interesting, you can most certainly have a life and a good college experience while doing med at undergrad level, and really, I don't think the course (apart from freakin' Anatomy!) was that difficult to pass.

The job in practice is VERY difficult on a daily basis, after one graduates. It is physically demanding, long long LONG hours, often going 40 hours without sleep or rest of any kind. The working environment is not usually a nice one, and stress levels can be astronomical.

My biggest worry is that my hands are shakey, is this a big problem? Can i avoid surgery?
