So I have heard from a medical student and a career counselor that if you are not from a loving family that shows support and care don't venture into medicine. Like you know those kind of households where they don't care about or give a hoot about each other that such a one should not venture into medicine. Because time will come where you'll need morale support of family members and if you don't have this support system you might throw in the towel that such a person will be better off in Engineering or even pharmacy that one can thrive in this without much support from family but medicine is a different ball game. Please medical students is there truth in this narrative?

Scam!!! Medicine is difficult, but you can build another support system. For most people it's their family but if you don't have a loving one, you can run to God...

very true

Studying medicine in Nigeria comes with lots of stress and pressure and this can lead to depression

At this point you will need some one to turn to ,to encourage you ..this is where family comes in

I studied Medicine in the harshest of conditions you can think about. From no love from family, to having little or no money, no friends, no girlfriends, no classic clothes and shoes, no gas, no foodstuffs, no kitchen utensils, slept on bare floor for a whole year, slept in school more than my hostel, contemplated suicide many times but still I didn't give up. My challenges made me stronger and unique, the good Lord has blessed me and I am grateful I went through all these processes
