The guy has brains to burn of course, but tbh, it's simply about motivation. Medicine is a grind, more than an intellectual exercise. If you have the brains for actual tech there's no doubt you have the requisite intelligence. The only barrier is the stamina for the grind. I know I couldn't do it. Not as I am now. Maybe in the future. I couldn't say for sure, given I'm not clairvoyant.

I agree that you should give serious pause. Probably the most serious pause of your life, but still. I wouldn't shy away too quickly. When you know, you know.

Very true. Not to discount MD training or doctors, but it's less about connecting disparate dots or learning how to solve problems and more about working out the brain like a muscle.
