Do not consider yourself as your own enemy my friend. You have full control over yourself (just think about the neural and chemical coordination you have, it may not be fully conscious but it still is your brain which controls you) and you can overcome any, I mean, any obstacle thrown at you if you do smart work instead of just hard work. Look, I cannot drive a motorcycle because I lack the agility to do so, do I give up? Here's the smart work : I will use a taxi to go from home to college and vice versa, and for social life let's just say others find me exploitable. (I am not a psychologist to instantly recognize people's motives if I am under tremendous stress, like I usually am)


Thank you for congratulating me.

I thank you for having the desire to be in the medical world. By becoming a doctor you just not live for yourself but you live for patients and their families as well. My internist saves lives daily and I just find his life to beautiful. Not in the sense he's super-rich or super-powerful, but he has received a lot of blessings. From cardiac arrest to tuberculosis, he treats conditions and saves lives of people.


I could not fulfill my dream of becoming a doctor because I am not that nurtured, which lead me to not be literally as smart as I could have been. I know I sound like a psychiatrist , but I am not one, wish would have been one.

Anyway, math is not something -- as far as my knowledge goes -- medicine requires. You can guess the drug dose based on the patient's severity of symptoms, other co-morbidity and weight. It does not mean you radiologists/radian oncologists cannot do long divisions (like me) but surgeons and clinical specialties also some research specialties do not require calculus and advanced math. (It requires the basic math to say at least.)

Chemistry on the other hand is required. I cannot give you advice since I am not a medical student, and I am going to do a B.S in zoology (don't want to open a retain store, it is fine to be a biology teacher) I am not sure but I think physical chemistry isn't involved at all, while there's only some part of inorganic chemistry, moderate part of organic chemistry.


I really am not sure my dear friend, or else I would have given you advice on chemistry. I do think it is required to understand a lot of detailed biochemistry especially if you become a physician, but if you're in a good health, have hands that do not shake you could always become a surgeon which requires only human biology. You need physical fitness for that, like absence of muscle knots, adjusted weight, absence of tremors, etc.
