What you don’t know about your doctor

Nairobi, Kenya: We are in debt. I mean, real debt. It actually cost most of us almost Sh20 million to become doctors. It has taken us a long time to get here.

Let’s do some math. Five years of medical school plus one year internship, add four years of masters training and two years of fellowship. These equal saying goodbye to my 20s. While my friends were going to clubs, getting married and taking vacations, I was busy trying to learn about microbiology, genetics and anatomy. So, although we "appreciate" Jenny McCarthy’s medical degree from Google University, please listen to your real doctor.
