Not long, a few weeks. I was starting to feel sick and didn’t want to get out of bed I was so tired. Then I thought about how much I was paying for med school and how I wanted to succeed at this. Being stubborn helps a lot. I ignored the phone calls and made excuses to friends about being busy, bought good food instead of fast food and dug into my school work. There would be times I’d be studying until midnight but most of the time I went to bed at a decent hour.
