stethoscope versus microscope????? - (Mar/14/2010 )

which would be advisible for a future career in science:
go straight to complete a pHd?
or
Finish my medical degree and then seek to continue my phD?
alot of people think i am bonkers to give up med school, but I dont know. I have heard that it is more benefical to also get an MD quailification. any opinions? I would like to lead onto medical and scientific writing from this.

How many years have you got left for your medical degree?

But my advice is do what makes you happy, do what you want to do. Making personal decisions based on others opinions is NEVER a good idea!! Who cares if they think you are bonkers!!

Thanks leelee,
I have another 4 years to complete,, which is what is putting me off really. Im in my mid-twenties, which i know is still young....but i dont want to waste my youth :lol: It just the time factor really and at the end of the day I dont think I will pratice medicine.
