It's official, Ali Abdaal is leaving medicine for good. He recently posted a video titled "I'm Leaving Medicine Forever" where he details all of his thoughts and reasons for leaving. Similar to Ali, I also left medicine during my training to pursue entrepreneurship, so my friend Prerak Juthani suggested I react to his video. Here are my thoughts and reactions to Ali Abdaal quitting medicine. Big congrats to Ali and excited to see where he takes his various projects in the future.
