couple questions-

I get the feeling from your posts that this branch of medicine is what you want a degree in because it ultimately pays so well, not that you genuinely find in interesting. Is this the case?

On one hand, you should stay in school and finish your degree, but on the other, if you find it difficult to care about courses that might represent something that would be an integral part of the field, then maybe you should consider changing your major, but dropping out and joining the french foreign legion is definitely the worst of both worlds.

Do that after you graduate with a degree in something, now that you've started, because all the previous posters are right, once you decide to leave school for something that sounds like a good idea at the time, its way harder to return later on in life after being buried in responsibilities.

Another question is you seem to have some serious drama with people who are "ex-friends" and such. If you have a continued similar type of problem with a large group of people, than in many cases, the problem can turn out to be yourself, or the way you perceive how these people interact with you. Self analysis and putting yourself in someone elses shoes is very hard for many people, but worth learning how to do. Ask yourself, "what could I have done to make this worse, in addition to, what did they do to make me hate them" often responsibility for a breach like that is shared. Many things are much ado about nothing based on shared stress that reveals everybodys character flaws

I experienced this, it took me a while to learn to discuss with friends more openly about things that were bothering me, vs sitting in smoldering resentment until something blows over something minor.
Some of my best friends now are ones I got into full on fist fights in college with. We now look back on "remember when you threw that TV at me?" or, "remember when you punched me in the nuts in front of my date?" with fondness.
