Hi everyone,
I just feel like telling the truth,
Why do you all care about medicine ( right you care about people and you want to help) but the truth is that these guys only care about themselves, once they get their MD/DOs they totally forget about those they once claimed they would care for and are after more prestige, honors, bonuses, and the like. They become arrogant and neglectful, and I have experienced this as a patient, and I honestly want you all to reconsider your aspiration for medicine and be true to yourself.....
For real why don't you guys become food servants or nannies or farmers? honestly cause once these premeds get in medical school they totally forget about the patients, one of my friends in med school once told me that the best residency is the one involving the least contact with patients,,,, Seriously? so why did you go to medical school?
So please, if you are among those who just want to get in medicine for honors, prestige, please, for the sake of patients, quit, because medicine requires sincere passion and compassion.
And what the heck, save yourself from stress, be a teacher, a nanny, a farmer, a food servant..... and be happy,
I had this very rare condition that I don't feel like disclosing on SDN, but my family took me to more than 20 different doctors that could not come up with the right diagnosis and treatment, every time it was something different and I didn't feel like all these doctors really cared about all my pain.
As soon as I read your first post, I guessed you had some sort of bull**** chronic pain condition that other doctors saw right through. You just seem like the whinny substrate that would have one of these conditions- the fibromyalgias, the somatization disorders of the world. It seems I was right. These things aren't rare. You aren't a unique snowflake.
It was your pain that they just didn't care about because it likely had no organic cause. You people (yeah that's right, you people) are people most normal doctors avoid at all costs. They have too much true illness to deal with, without your whinny crap getting in the way. That is one of the reasons I am going into a field that has true illness- cardiology. You can't fake an MI. Your mind can't create critical aortic stenosis. You can't whine about symptomatic a-fib or heart failure without there being some real illness.
I'm gonna guess that is not just the doctors that ignore you and your "symptoms." Stop me if I'm getting close.
