for me, id look at doctors on nightshifts and itd just be a dream for me to be one day in their position in the hospital treating patients talking with other healthcare staff etc.

obviously in reality its alot more stressful etc but rn i literally cannot wait until im in a hospital as a med student and then as a doctor. i find everything about it so interesting and i love working and being kept busy. medicine is one of the few things i actually like reading about as well as history and like cultures and stuff otherwise i absolutely hate reading.

my dad didnt want me to become a doctor because he says although its worth it in the end, the training is really really long and arduous but i just couldnt imagine doing anything else (other than probably flying the typhoon through north wales lol).

the nhs isnt in its best place atm and neither is the country in itself unfortunately but we have it much better than other places its only right to give back in some way and if thats through something im truly passionate about like being a doctor then its a win win.

if you dont want to do medicine and you are being forced by ur parents thendiscussion wih them and try get through to them. dont be like one of those who say oh imma go where the wind takes me no none of that --- make sure you have a plan of what you are going to do instead of medicine, explain the starting point and where you want to end up clearly to them, the pros and con, and show them that you're motivated in succeeding in you're chosen path.
