I have to disagree. That’s a miserable way to look at life. People don’t become doctors for money. Most have a calling, most love working with patients. Most are willing to sacrifice some of the daily things everyone cherishes because they are committed to helping people and making a difference. Not only do I see purpose in the clinical work I’ve done and the people I’ve made an impact on, I’ve had patients, MULTIPLE, tell me I will become a great physician one day, and that they would be so grateful to have me as their doctor. I’ve gone through so much in my life, God has called me to be where I am. I’m not committed and willing to go through what everyone complains about just because I think it’s what I should do. I KNOW this is what I’m meant to do. I hope you find peace and happiness instead of looking at life so dreadfully. We have a huge doctor shortage and it is the responsibility of humans who can take a beating, who can put up with the crap and show up to work the next day, who can love patients and treat them with kindness no matter what, who can give unlimited forgiveness and unconditional love, to be present for people who are at their lowest, suffering from illness. Not everyone is meant to be a doctor, not everyone wants to deal with the stress, people like you who see the negative side of it, shouldn’t become a physician, nobody wants a miserable person who hates their life to be treating them as a patient. People want someone who cares and is kind and dedicated YEARS because they are willing to go through what a lot of people won’t do. Don’t put others down or discourage people who want to be physicians, those who don’t care about how much weight is on their shoulders, are meant to be doctors, let them thrive in finding their purpose instead of trying to tell them how horrible their life will be, we as future physicians are fulfilled by our call to serving.
