Law School vs. Med School: Which Is Harder?

"I'll see you in court" "I'll see you on the operating table" One of those sounds way more threatening lol

The whole video in one sentence: Dr. Mike arguing with someone who gets paid to argue.

I love how you guys have genuine chemistry. It isn't forced. You guys look like buddies hanging out, having fun. That's awesome.

My dad is a lawyer and he made a great comparison between being a doctor and a lawyer. Simply put, the stakes are often higher for a doctor. A lawyer may be faced with a problem and have a week to think about it to reach the right conclusion. A doctor may be faced with a problem and have minutes to reach the right conclusion. And if he fails, there’s a dead body that he’s responsible for. It’s kind of like bus drivers and pilots. Both are jobs where you are transporting lots of people. But if a bus breaks down with passengers, it’s an inconvenience. If a plane breaks down with passengers, it’s a crisis where you must make the right move or hundreds of people will die.

Doctor: “Med students don’t have time off” *lawyer pulls up Instagram* Lawyer: “this you?”

Asian parents be like: "If you are debating which is better, just do both".

mike: doctor or lawyer. my parents: why not both?

A doctor and a lawyer were at a party. After a while the doctor and the lawyer met up. The doctor said "I spent all evening answering medical questions. How do you get people to not ask you so many legal questions?" And the lawyer said," oh that's easy I answer it and then I sent him a bill in the morning." The doctor thought this was a great idea. So he remembered who he assisted that evening and prepared all the bills went out to the mailbox and found a bill from the lawyer in the morning.

No one: Dr Mike: arguing with a man *paid* to argue

In conclusion, just school is hard

I am an attorney. My daughter is a doctor. I can say unequivocally that Med School is much, much harder, and the training after far more difficult for doctors. It seems like boards are like taking the bar twice in med school, once in residency, and once after. The bar was hard, but I only had to take it once. The California bar pass rate is around 20%, though. It is hard! I was married with one young child and got pregnant halfway through (don’t try that at home!) and graduated 2nd in my class.

By far the best collaboration ever. Seemless chemistry like you'd been buddies for years

The title is basically what every parent wants their two kids to fight about when they grow up

Law School: learn to write better Med School: learn to write faster

As a Law Student, I think Med school is harder. But it’s easier to be successful as a Doctor than it is being successful as a lawyer. Doctors are always trusted in their field, while us lawyers struggle to get our name out. At least that’s what I’ve seen

My two favorite moments in Med School occurred at graduation for 2 specific reasons: 1. Because my dad was an alumnus of the same school, he was allowed (in cap and gown) to hand me my diploma on stage when my name was called. I’ll never forget that moment. 2. Two days after graduation, I married my longtime fiancée. After a one week honeymoon, we drove across country to begin a new life (for me, that meant starting my internship). 42 years later we’re still married, I’m still practicing medicine and my wife still puts up with me. My worst memory of med school: rounding on patients during my internal medicine rotation: round by myself first, then round with the intern, then with the chief resident, and finally, with the attending, bombarded with tough (read: impossible) clinical questions each time (known as "getting pimped"). A miserable rite of passage; my low back has never recovered from the hours of standing day after day and my ego remains bruised!

Title: Law School vs. Med School: Which is Harder? Me: Online School

An old colleague of mine (who just finished his PhD as I was starting mine) moved from science to medicine. His take was that the medicine degree was a lot more work (volume/hours etc), but that his PhD was intellectually way harder. He mentioned the amount of memorizing required for medicine, and did mention some dissatisfaction that he didn’t feel that he was studying science anymore, but rather just learning to memorize and apply the products of science. I’ve got no skin in the game …but that was his take.

Their teasing one another and being competitive while having friend/bromance chemistry is so attractive to me. They are awesome together and both very talented with their work. Without being snarky or arrogant, they both poke fun at one another. I love it!
