Why You Should Still Become a Doctor

[MedBound1]

Interview of Joseph Zuckerman (Prof/ Chair of Dept of Orthopaedic Surgery at NYU) about medical school and why one should still become a physician.

In this day where so many doctors say "don't do it" - this is a nice perspective - never forget the passion you all can bring to a field with the right understanding of who you are and why you are there

This is true except for those who get into it for money - they will be disappointed with the time, debt, and decreasing income.

Great video, OP.

If anything, the only ones who would be discouraged would be the ones with the lack of passion.

IMO, most physicians who advise young people against going into medicine due to their own disillusionment probably haven't had to do anything else professionally. I think a lot of doctors take for granted that few other professions are as intellectually challenging as being a doctor.

Everything, absolutely everything, is what you make of it. And a piss poor disposition can make anything seem like a bad decision.
