The thing is, medical school doesn't have to be insanely difficult. I've heard courses taught extremely well that made things like neuroscience a cake walk, and poorly taught courses like dermatology become very difficult due to the mindset I had while trying to study. Why there's this dichotomy when there are clear examples of how to educate medical students 'right', I don't know. Maybe it's better for medical students like me to forget trying to go to class when there's poor quality teaching and try and learn it on my own. Or maybe in the grand scheme of things, it doesn't matter because the real education comes in residency. My undergraduate degree was also in CS, did you ever feel like you wasted four years of your undergraduate education just to go into medicine later? I'm trying to position myself in such a way that I still get to use those sorts of skills after medical school, but I forget much of what I thought I knew, and the field changes constantly. L
