I've met so many people who are miserable in this profession, from med students to attendings. I know the standard response is that every career has people who are unhappy, but I can confidently say this one has a lot compared to others from my experience and they really seem to dislike it (they're not just complaining for the heck of it).
Everyday I meet med students who complain about school, residents who are perpetually in a crappy mood and want to just get home as soon as possible, to attendings who seem to have little if any enjoyment about their career.
So why do you keep doing it if it makes you like this? There must be people on this forum who are like the ones I've mentioned and I would like to hear from them especially. How can you wake up every single day going to med school/residency/attending job you hate and being in a miserable mood day in and day out? Is it really that worth it to you?
