I'm trying to understand why you changed. It's either because of money or you never really wanted to enter the field in the first place. Which, as humorous as it may seem to you, is entirely your indecisiveness so take note of that before trying to share another long rambling curmudgeon story.
good story. why medicine? how did you get so far into architecture before realizing it was a mistake?

I'm not an expert in medical field but from my own understanding:
Residency is a term used for internship in medical, social working/counseling, and similar and related field in hospital and clinical settings. Basically, clinical residency. The term is apparently common there and is basically the supervised internship before they can fully practice as a doctor independently.
I almost did the same thing. But I couldn't handle the commitment. Hats off to you, I have a ton of respect for anyone who can make it through med school. Especially if you have a back-up plan. It was too easy for me to quit and go back into architecture.
An intern doctor is licensed to practice medicine.

Do you miss it?
What's your planned specialty? How are the hours?
How did your family react?
Coming back to brag? You uppity shit.
when you calculate your hours as a resident based on pay what does it work out to?
"intern" doctor vs. "intern" architect: terminology explanation, please?
Donna beat me to it-
Dr. Dave Z, or
Dave Z, AMA?
Did you leave your wife and get someone new?
"I always knew that after I became a doctor, I would dump whoever I was with and find someone better. That's the dream of becoming a doctor."
- Ben, to Elaine, in "The Abstinence"
Isn't resident what they call patients in an asylum?
That would be "inmate".

Damn, Balkins, really? Why were you up at 3 in the morning explaining shit that everybody already knows on Archinect?
To the OP: So what? You want to tell us your story, great, feel free.

I say that to my wife all the time, substituting Architect, of course...
Can you tell me if this rash is contagious?
Hey Doc..."Can You Explain a Mind Fart?"
DaveZ, What specialty are you going into?
question: are you going to participate in your own AMA?
why did you feel the need to inform us?
Do people say to you: "I was going to be a doctor but I wasn't good at math" ?
Q) when you calculate your hours as a resident based on pay what does it work out to?
^this, please
Still holding out for an answer......
Is this your poor man's version of "Dr" Oz's show?
