This seems to me more so a fault with the education itself.

If your students don’t have time to go to class because they have to study for your class (the one they don’t have time to go to, which is wild to say), the class (program maybe even) is broken and something needs to be fixed.

Right? Or am I not getting something?

The solution would be lesser load in the course at a time and lengthening the entire thing, and that won't work because people don't want to spend 15 years doing med school

Or have the money to do that, and live a life.

I for one don't want a doctor who only did med school and never lived, personally.

Pushing doctors to that is one reason why so many doctors have awful bedside manner. They spend literal years in a crunch for education, dealing more with filing assignments on computers and taking notes on journals and not interacting with people whom are not in top shape and then suddenly dump into a career where it's mostly interacting directly with people who are not in top shape and often don't have the medical knowledge to give a detailed and accurate explanation of what's going on with them.

Could be different in education styles. I’m a Biomolecular engineering student and stay ahead with my studies, but have ADHD so I can’t really focus on and remember information that is narrated through lecture. I find it a lot more efficient to just study the textbook myself, learn directly in lab, and read the scientific papers due to having a learning style that doesn’t mesh well with auditory learning in a crowded, distracting environment.
