Outside of medicine.. why be a doctor?

[TTSD]

If you ask the average premed WHY probably 90% will say "I love medicine.. I love to help people.. blah blah blah."

Sounds incredibly boring and repetitive that it makes you sympathize with the Adcoms and makes you wonder why they hold onto their sanity. So what is the ulterior motive?

For instance, if I ever decide on a different field, would be dentistry. An easier life style, and oh..my..god.. the nurses! For some reason the dentist nurses still wear those sexy nurse outfits, and they like putting their breasts on your face when they're cleaning your teeth and.. oh right, gotta keep this PG.

For me personally I feel that medicine is a job I could feel proud doing and hopefully feel good about myself when all has been said and done. Not to mention a nice paycheck and the girls..

No pelvic exams or breast exams in dentistry (unless you're a pervert dentist who uses sedatives to get their jollies).

Q, DO

Funny you should say that. I know a doctor, REALLY smart man, but he does not brush his teeth. He's really big in researching oxidative damage and other cytotoxicities and is paranoid about the fluoride in toothpaste. And he wonders why his wife is no longer intimate with him..

Also, don't forget about the privilege of sharing dentist and chiropractor jokes with colleagues.

ooh, me too! and that cool blue script with your name on the pocket...makes you feel as though you've arrived. I may not always have wanted to be a doctor, but i've known i wanted the stethoscope and little knee-tapping hammer thing since I was six years old...

Speaking of which - If I see one more freshman wearing his labcoat to the cafeteria, I'm gonna kick his @$$. Dude, I know you're gonna be doctor; we're all gonna be doctors. But you just came from the gross anat. lab. That's frickin' sick!!!

AHHHHHHH!!! Why does medicine attract so many freaky little idiots. Sure they can memorize the Citric Acid Cycle and every protocol the profs throw at them. But they're so @#$^#$% annoying. I knew I should have chosen a lower ranked school - one that accepts actual human beings.

Wait... they accepted me. ...confused... I'm gonna hafta go think about this for a while.

For that you don't have to be a dentist, you just need cleaning quite often

I always wondered why they even bother asking that. There are only so many answers. I'm sure the odd duck here or there has an interesting story to tell about the liver transplant he underwent at age 8, or the promise she made to her dying grandmother, or something, but for the most part, I think we all do truly want to help people. Or at least I do. I've spent my whole life wondering what the best way to do that is, and I truly think this is it. Paycheck and nurses notwithstanding.

It was a kidney transplant at 6.
