#1 I definitely applaud their determination. Congratulations to them both!

#3 Agreed, PlanetDan. There are no math classes in medical school. Actually, I'd hire those girls for just about anything, if I could -- such determination is laudable.

#5 well i applaud these women but shouldn't some answers about some teachers actually teaching be asked?

#6 Ahem. There may not be math classes, but you definitely need to know math for med school. Algebra for sure, and some calculus is helpful.

#7 Ah. A pity nobody told Mr. Wife that -- else perhaps he would have gone on to med school as originally planned, instead of falling for the seductions of an engineering degree. Still, I would've made a terrible doctor's wife, so I s'pose it's all for the best.

#8 Shouldn't we be, like, handing them a burger-flipping spatula after about the eighth try or something?

#9 Amen to that, GE. These two clearly were willing to work at it. They have more of what it takes to succeed than many of their "smarter" compadres.

If he had gone to med schoold he wouldn't have been at the right time in the right place for having the luck to meet you. :-)

#12 such determination is laudable.

Indeed. But their learning curve is laughable.

#14 Mercy buckets, JFM. Dr. Steve, I picked him up at my Freshman orientation to the university, two years before he would have gone on to medical school anyway. (Totally ruined my plans for a wild'n'crazy freshman year, too!) Anyhow, he was doing cancer research at the Roswell Park institute with all Daddy's colleagues, and had gone out the night before with a bunch of my schoolmates, so we probably would have met eventually. As you said... ;-)

As for the young ladies, most girls who have that much difficulty with maths just marry a man who'll take care of the checkbook for them. Well done, I say. Although I agree there are definite questions to be asked about the teachers involved.
