few factors in all of this.
1. Your current responsibilities. Are you stable enough that this can be done? For most people, dropping everything isn't even an option considering the costs of living.
2. Are you currently in a medical industry? Is being a doctor really something you wanted to do? You need to find motivation in everything you do or you'll always end up short.
About the loans ... they happen, but if they'll ultimately get you to where you want to be, then do it.
