Smeer, that was my point, it's not easy because you sort of have to start all over again... with new friends, new atmosphere and a new way of living. But it's not like we're alone in this. Think of it as going to a hostel far far away from home. Though it would make it easier if you pick a city where you may have some relativies living. One way or the other, you're right, one would eventually become accustomed to this and should learn to adapt.
And remember, change is good if your intentions are pure
I was having a discussion with my friend regarding how hard the medical studies can get and whether we are being wise with ourselves to continue to go through this hardship even though we're seeing a lot of saturation of doctors throughout the world.
And he says inorder to earn respect and honour, hardwork is inevitable.
and what is more honourable and praiseworthy than saving someones life and being a doctor
