I don’t think any of us would doubt just how difficult it can be to go through medical school. Many of us struggle just to get through community college, but the stress behind medical school can really take a toll.
Nobody knows this better than Javi Ochoa, an active TikTok vlogger who often shares his experiences at medical school and talks about mental health issues.
He may not have really considered it but someone told him that during this time in medical school, he had aged 20 years.
That is when he created a video that showed some pictures that highlighted the difference between when he started and where he was now in his scholastic career.
The pictures that you see at the beginning of the video are what Ochoa looked like when he enrolled in medical school. He was smiling from ear to ear and it seemed as if he had youth on his side.
After a few years of being in med school with the long hours and stress, it looked as if he had aged 20 years. You can see it in his eyes, as well in his disposition that he had lost something in the process.
Undoubtedly, medical school is a challenge but it is one that many people are willing to take. Just be prepared because you will likely say goodbye to your youth on your way to becoming a success.
