		<description>Well you may leave Medicine but Medicine never leaves you. I qualified in the UK, then dutifully did my HO SHO jobs before doing a GP Registrar job. 

Med school was OK I suppose, my hospital jobs were frankly hell and my GP job was bearable, (just). I qualified as a GP and the day I finished as a full GP I never went back. 

I took a few years off doing some travelling and wondering what to do next. I am still wondering. A Medical degree seems to uniquely qualified to trap you. Yes there are other jobs you can do but they either don&#039;t pay the bills or require yet another degree and in general suck. I am thinking of going back but how to do it beats me (there is no real mechanism for it, in the UK at least). I wish I had never done it - just look at what they make you give.</description>

		<description>Glad to know I&#039;m not the only one who feels this way.  Pulled out of the match to try and find other ways to live my life outside of medicine, but I was simultaneously over and under-qualified for just about every position out there! Please just tell me it gets better...</description>
