Let me tell you something dude!!!!!!Go out an find yourself another career my brother!! I cannot stress that enough.. You are not meant to be a doctor and im not saying that in any disrespect whatsoever. i am not meant to be a doctor, PGY 3 in anesthesiology, because ive been having these fantasies about leaving since i was a third year medical student. And i loved it when i started..I studied hard and worked hard. When i hit clinical years thats when the depression hit. Cold reality of the way medicine works. medicine is far from being idealistic and when you get there you will be thinking, ive been sold a bill of goods. And you will be taken advantage of for the next at least six years of your life every single day.. The pay sucks, the food sucks. the people you are working with suck (nurses, techs ets)nobody respects doctors anymore0 everyone is out to get them.. Go out and get a career where you can be in charge,,, lawyer, b school engineering.... anyway sorry ive been so negative but you know its the truth..
Go about your life like med schoool never happened for you. Forget about it!!•••
As a doctor one is in charge,like it or not. You have a great deal of autonomy. When it comes to healthcare, everyone wants to know what a doctor thinks. I am a med student and I always want to know what my doctor thinks. For instance, if he asks me, "do you want antibiotics?" I respond sometimes, "do you think its best."
