This question was originally posted on Quora.com and was answered by Shubham Vivek, Pursuing MBBS from PMCH patna Oh you poor soul! I can't even fathom the absurdity of this question. Medical students are human beings, aren't they??? And since humans are social animals, how can they survive alone! So yes! They do have girlfriend much like any other fields ( sorry engineers ) but since we have very little time for other things, most of the relationships in medical college revolve around college, hospital and books. A lot of my friends are in relationship and they are doing well in academics too, if you are worried about that. Then again, being in a relationship or not depends on that particular person. I personally believe things like relationship is not something that you have to specifically care for, it will happen if it has to. So medical students are no exception. Hope this answers your question! Source
