They say that you should not change who you are for anybody especially your significant other. What if your career asks of it? Becoming a doctor requires students to buckle down and study regardless of race, creed, and gender; obedience does not discriminate. The public perceptions characterize doctors as wealthy, snobbish, socially inept, knowledgeable, and altruistic. Do you have to be a certain person beforehand in order to be a successful doctor?
The qualities of a person could pertain to outlook, perspective, cynicism, athleticism, psychological-balance, and outward personality? Who determines and judges this subjective opinion. Success can be defined as happiness, awareness of oneself, spirituality, social enlightenment. As a result, do all physicians fit this mold?
What do you guys think?
I do not believe that a particular personality is required of a person in order to be a successful doctor. I do believe that professionalism dictates how people should treat each other in the office which, in turn, reflects maturity. Maturity is being happy with oneself regardless of outward presentation. What matters is "am I happy with myself?" Have I accepted the decisions I made in my life and sacrifice that I am going to make for my future. Am I wrong?
