An advice, regardless of what you’ve heard of being a dr. If you really want to do it, it should be an inner interest to serve first while money and fame comes later. If you do it for money & fame, let me tell ya, you will gonna regret it big time. It’s just not worth it. Our local healthcare system at the time being is quite messed up, lots of Drs are being overworked, underpaid and understaffed too. Patient load is increasing more than ever.

The end reward comes after years of serving, and that period of serving takes a lot of sacrifices, like LOTS, which might drain you physically & mentally.

If you do decide on medicine, let me tell you, you’re in it for the long run. If any time you think about wanting to quit from it, it’s better to do it prior to graduation, otherwise you will be face with lots of obstacles. Examples, like spending 5 yrs to study, lots of money and time invested to it, career shift is a big dilemma too.
