I already asked this question in the med students forum, but I wanted to hear you guys' take. I hope this is allowed, lol.

I was curious. Most fields that require very intense amounts of training require some form of indoctrination or programming. I assume that's true for the field of medicine. What are some examples of this?

As a result of being molded into an instrument of death, (I meant healing, I joke) I've heard that a loss of compassion and empathy is common. But doesn't that sound like a killer though? Lol. Why exactly is this true? Also, how has this affected your interactions with people inside and outside of medicine? I know it's a lot of questions, but it's just very interesting.
