Ok so I just started volunteering at a hospital. And from day 1 I've noticed that all the doctors look miserable. Their smiles don't reach their eyes, they look dead tired. There's this common aura of concentration and misery about them. Even in the cafeteria they seem miserable. There will be a whole table of them, and they will all look miserable. I'm just thinking...will I go from cheerful/normal --> miserable if I continue along this path?
On the other hand, docs at private practices seem much more lively in general.
So my question is, is it the hospital setting that makes docs miserable, or is it the profession itself?
