Medical Student Burn-Out. 

The way the medical school curriculum is designed, if you re to really give it ur all, it would require you to give up every other aspect of your life, even down to relationships and hobbies, which is not worth it at all. foe me, the best way is to strike a balance and always take necessary breaks when required, afterall, you will be sacrificing too much if you neglect your life just for a degree, or you let your world revolve just around medicine. Go have fun, socialize, see the world outside, while striking the balance.

its actually bad that by the time you are graduating medical school, there is almost no empathy left in you, you just want to escape the system. Like you said, its worse when you are combining medicine with other things, or when you re giving your best, and it is not reflecting in your results. Someone had to say it. Thanks doc.
