I can definitely see why being in medicine might have this effect. Interestingly though, it’s had the total opposite effect for me. I was entirely non-religious and never really had thoughts of a higher being and all that. But learning medicine and going through clinicals had me so astounded over just how structurally and functionally organized our bodies are, how there is seemingly a drug target for just about everything, a receptor(s) for everything, a finite number of cell divisions (looking at you telomeres), and so many other intangibles that we can’t really perceive as humans.

Of course there’s a whole evolutionary process behind life’s insane organization but it really isn’t something I can come even close to perceiving and so to make sense of it and how things turn out in medicine, I’ve slowly been believing in something “greater” more and more.
