The Real Reason Medical School Is So Hard
I scored in the 99th percentile on COMLEX.
On paper, I did everything right.
In reality, my study habits were completely self-destructive and they ended my medical career before it even started.
In this video, I break down the unspoken side of medical school success: how you can get top scores while quietly burning yourself into the ground.
I talk honestly about:
• The toxic study habits I used in medical school
• Why “just studying harder” worked short-term but failed long-term
• How burnout, anxiety, and unsustainable strategies caught up to me
• Why my clinical career ended earlier than planned
• And how that failure pushed me into medical education and board prep full-time
This is not a motivation video. It is not a highlight reel. It is a real explanation of why so many medical students still struggle, and why raw intelligence and effort are not enough to survive COMLEX, USMLE, and medical training as a whole.
