Okay guess we're just gonna ignore the large number of women who have reproductive issues because they hold off having children until their late 30s due to medical school. Forgetting that part of your argument, I think theirs a ton of NP's, CRNAs, and PAs that if allowed would gladly challenge the step exams and match into residency later in life. Medical students by and large are young people at the beginning of the careers that made all the right decisions. I dont begrudge them and really truly would love to see conditions improve for residents and physicians throughout the hospital. I cannot think of a group that is taken advantage of by our medical system more than residents. If you wanna begrudge others for not being able or willing to undergo the sacrifice to become a physician thats fine. But not everyone falls perfectly into your cookie cutter example of being able to give up 10-15% of their productive life. Hell I've met PAs and NP's that are doctors in their home countries.
