About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a grounded, friendship-driven look at the stress and routines of medical school, similar in spirit to Hippocrates: Diary of a French Doctor; Not for you if you want a light, carefree campus comedy.
Pros: authentic student life; strong friendship focus; compelling character study | Cons: intense academic pressure; limited partying vibe; heavy emotional tone
