Aye. Didn't know that being a surgeon was the goal. The question then becomes "How will they feel being a government employee via Obamacare after all that work and expense"? I ask that question in all honesty.

I myself was aiming towards a medical career, starting as a Navy Corpsman with the USMC. But even by the early 1980s the legalistic aspects of medicine were becoming so insanely burdensome that I just "went Galt" on the whole idea, before I ever heard of Atlas Shrugged. Don't mistake me, as I age I become ever aware of how essential the existence of good doctors are to my own, but it is something one must consider.

We live in interesting times. Unfortunately.

So if I was to go to college, I would carry and not say a word to anyone. It's the ace up your sleeve that wins that particular game. That's "going Galt" in a different way, I suppose.

Good luck to you and yours.

Yes, I’m very angry about ObamaCare and how that’s going to play out with his career. I’m also following the so called “community service” attached to grants and how medical personnel can be called up at any time. It’s maddening. And very, very scary.
