Hello matey.Interesting,this connection between flying & medicine!I'm the third person from my year at medical school to make the transition from a medical to a flying career-I don't think being a doc will affect your chances in any way.Ok,the job prospects for medicine are fairly constant & not at all economically driven,but in the UK at least,it is an utterly crap career choice & I'd wholeheartedly recommend the flying option!When I see how much better the quality of life is-and it is-there is no contest!Go for it.
