We spend years 2-4 in hospital, only first year at uni :)

Does it get even harder to do so as you progress to internship,etc?
Thanks :)

3rd year Usyd student, we just started our full time clinical placements 6 weeks age (we used to do 1 day per week in hospitals before 3rd year).
Free time has gone out the window... this last week I've had four 12-14 hour days, leave the house at 6am and get back 8.30-9pm, 2 days ago I slept on a hospital couch at 2am and got up and straight back to work the next morning. So it's exhausting... Not everyone's experience has been that way - I know a lot of students who do 9-5 and that's it, so I think it's very true that you get out whatever you put in. Good luck!

If I ever get there...that is something I look forward to for some reason. I can't quite put a finger on it, but something about having to sleep on a hospital couch, instead of going home seems awesome. It's something about being so involved in it, that you have to sacrifice something you've taken for granted your whole life.

Done it once at the Angliss, heavily over-rated :P
