Well, if you can't make it through the "weed-out" classes for pre-med, why would you be able to make it through P-Chem, which is significantly harder?

Also, speaking as a physician, it never occured to me that I might want to get a PhD in biology or something instead of going into medicine. I'm not a doctor because I like science, I'm a doctor because I like people. I think a good percentage of us who become physicians never considered ourselves "science people" to begin with, so if these people can't do organic chemistry, they leave the STEM fields that they otherwise had no interest in to begin with. At least, that's what I would have done.
