The day in the life as a medical resident

[LHS Student]

I found this documentary on a different post. This shows the reality of what being a new doctor actually is.

Here is a longer but more detailed documentary of the lives of 7 students from med school to residents to doctors ( 21 years) and how their life changed..kind of depressing though...

I watched the series of videos and even though I don't want to do pediatric stuff this was still interesting. I'm sure with the change of patients this is just like any other post medical school residency. It was very interesting I like it and it just makes me want to become a doctor even more : )

After watching the video the entire 2 hours, I have to say it is such a wonderful walk through of the life as a medical student (1st through 4th year) and internship + residency. The video has taught me a lot and I have to admit that they make valid points about things we should all consider and things which have happened to these doctors throughout their lives now years later; the constant struggle they have had through their years of training, the impacts on their marital and outside life, as well as on their physical well-being.

Overall I think the video gives a vivid description of what many people will be going through and the potential negatives of entering the field and whether it is the perfect choice for oneself.

I watched both of them. I liked the second one because it really showed some negatives (all the people who got married were latter divorced and etc =P). Thanks for posting.
