Piggy-backing on Mark's observations of choice of career.....from this limited impression I have of you, my thoughts are that you would make a better researcher than helping professonal, and perhaps going with the PhD rather than the MD might be something to think about. What makes me say this? Not just (as has been pointed out) what aspects of your self-experience would get in the way of working directly with people, but also, what would add to your abilities as a researcher. Namely, your ability to get totally absorbed in a line of thinking, totally preoccupied with knowing more about something. That persistence would serve well if you were questing after the answer to a research problem, as would your love of careful observations. As for your level of preoccupation, I would imagine it could make attending to your studies at present quite a challenge. BTW, why are you so opposed to medication (evil dr. so-and-so, and all)?
