Hi
I am a Pharmacy Graduate (MPharm) and just finished my 1st year of Medical school. My results are exceptionally good (All As and Bs). However when it comes to dealing with patients and seeing the suffering they go through and the lack of help you can provide disheartens me to continue perusing medicine. Many people dont realise the shock a person can end up in after they recieve the news. Some patients end up flipping. at that pont i realized that what i was doing might not the best choice.
I worked as a pharmacist, and i enjoy the medical subjects at med school and diagnosis, but when you are face to face with a case where no treatment works and the end result is suffering and death its horribly depressing.
you can just go on working as if nothing happened. although a second year i was shocked when i saw the state of one of the patients and the way he suffered for months before passing awway.
