I am trying to compile a list of medical school dropouts who later went on to do great things in other fields. The term "med school" here is used loosely to allow some flexibility. So anyone who abandoned his medical training and accomplished something notable in some other field would work. So far I've found five persons. I've listed them below to show what I am looking for. I hope to find five more to fill out a Top Ten list. [more inside]
