It's not just about becoming a MD, It's also about being able to deal with patients unless stay in a research capacity only with no patient contact.

If the MI is totally controllable & one has the actual skills & ability to do the work it takes to get through med school & the rotations required in the hospital work then the residency time. Even people without MI struggle to get through all the requirements.

I wanted to be a flute performer in a symphony. Bottom line....I didn't have the talent even practicing 8 hours a day to compete with the really talented musicians. In other words it is more than desire or even mental ability to do something....there is an internal talent that gets one to where they want to be.

I personally want an MD with that kind if ability working on me, not one who just squeeked by.
