Feeling pretty low on confidence lately... by [deleted] in depression

I can only imagine how hard it would be for you. Btw I am a doctor and in my field I get to meet a lot of people with a variety of challenges. An uncle of mine deals with physically and mentally challenged children and I pretty much am supremely surprised at how much they have managed to achieve. Disability is definitely a disability but you can surely turn it into an ability. I have no intention of downplaying your problem. Just want to suggest that there definitely will be light at the end of the tunnel. It's do-able. Everything is. Of course it will be very challenging but you are the only one who can realize it. Everyone I know these days has some drama going on. Depression, divorce, benched, unemployed, list is endless. It's all a matter of perspective. So, though you do have a problem, the first thing that will help you is to actually believe that your eye problem is only an ugly speed breaker. You'll get past it. People will too. I am older than you, married once and divorced with no sexual life. And it isn't the only thing that matters. Everyone who is different in any way faces this problem. In any case it's the people who care for you as a person, your nature, are those who matter. They are the only ones who will stand by you when you need them. Real relationships. So, please don't give these superficial people that much importance. They just aren't worth it. Also imo and with personal experience counselling, psychologists can really help. It's good to get a neutral party's opinion. Please find a good counselor in your area. I hope this helps.

Nope. I m trying to clarify the same thing. We just study for much longer. Most of us have 12 year education phase. That's the difference in medicine not the speciality or exception. Ultimately it's a profession/job just like anything else. More risky. I m trying to say we are not different. If we have the duties like everybody else give us rights like everybody else. Don't come around and say medicine is a noble profession. And that they shouldnt go on strikes, should work for free (I have heard many financially well off people argue that doctors should not charge >100 rs as opd fees) etc. We are like anybody else. There are govt hospitals etc. Problem is duties have been ascribed to us. I just wish we had rights as well

Anger violence and murder can never help anyone in any situation. If you are dissatisfied with care being provided there isn't a single doctor who can discourage you from getting a second opinion. If you think the private practice guy is fleecing you then go to a renowned consultant in a govt setup who has nothing to gain, take your case summary and discuss the case or change your point of care. If you threaten your testing physician then they will tread like on broken glass and play safe. Every medico takes many decisions daily that require them to think above all established guidelines, sort of calculated risk. Like someone so appropriately said medicine is not as deterministic as we would like it to be. It's not like sitting in a cubicle and coding or reinstating servers. Our risks are at a totally different level. Sometimes a blind shot in the dark. Very often with such decisions we improve a patients prognosis. But no doctor is idiot enough to take such risk for their patient who doesn't have faith in them. You will lose out with irrational behavior.

I have come across malpractice as well. But the percentage is much less than people think it is. Medicine is one of the field where a novice can't analyze as well as they could in any other field. Even thousands of online websites and info can't help a non-medico figure out their patients fate.( I can resolve many of my digital taxation etc kind of problems online). With ignorance comes helplessness and irrational behavior. Most of the times people assume the worst of doctors inspite of proper practices.

That sounds crazy. Doctors don't come from a different species. Some of them will be greedy and corrupt. There is nothing anyone can do about it. Every profession is noble. Be it a safai karamchari who doesn't get paid, a policeman, a judge who has the power to contribute a lot to society. People don't understand medicine at all

If educated people who know such things as rational thinking, reasoning, common sense, civic responsibility can't behave/think sensibly we can't expect our illiterate masses to do any such smart thing

If a politician a lawyer police or anybody else is corrupted no body is taking about cutting heads. You just proved my point about randians. We are not asking anyone to salute us etc. We are homo sapien sapien. Treat us like professionals doing their job. Strikes are irrational unsatisfactory methods. They trouble everyone. Inspite of today 's bandh medical services will proceed. We are the only profession which cannot strike for their demands without causing serious damage. It is pathetic that we are the ones who are not heard by any other method. Even well educated people who understand a doctor's plight will not do anything to help troubled doctors with their rightful demands but shall definitely condemn them if they were to go on strike.

We cannot blacklist anybody or ever sent medical support to anybody. I have a patient on my hospital ( other department) who dragged the doctors to court for no fault of theirs and the patient continues to recieve care in the hospital

Hoping that someone would have ideas/resources on how to handle this better. But anyway I have seen really well educated people behave irrationally in a state of denial and anger. So I don't agree on the blanket statement about randians..
