I'm sure it's different from state to state though since the liscensing is different. Here you can't even get a drivers liscense if you've been involuntarily committed.

Well, I have my driver's license... What do you mean? To be a licensed Dr., they will ask me those questions, and I will have to honestly answer that, yes, I have been to a mental hospital?
Thanks for the story... I don't want to finish Med school and not be able to find a Dr. job because of my medical history, which should be protected and not discriminated against, right?
