Med school isn't hard because the material is hard. It's hard because the system is built to waste your time. Professors throwing 120-slide decks at you from 2004 that they didn't even write. Lectures that are just someone reading those slides out loud for 90 minutes. Textbooks written like legal documents that no human being would voluntarily sit down and read.

We're not struggling because we're not smart enough. We're struggling because we're being handed garbage and told it's education.

The whole system runs on the assumption that if you just grind hard enough, long enough, it'll click. It doesn't. You just burn out and learn to survive instead of actually learn. And then they wonder why burnout starts in year one.
