That was quite a good article, and I don't think people should be so quick to dismiss it. Notice how the author has a great sense of humor - this isn't some miserable person who was forced into medicine and now hates himself for it, the kind of person who would be miserable and complain no matter what profession he ended up in. This is a smart, funny guy who is giving a pretty accurate assessment of what it's like. I think most med students and doctors would agree with all of his points. People are either born to become doctors or not - there has to be a little piece of your brain that's burned out and not functioning in order for you to crave both the good and the bad that comes with being a doctor.
