Q6b Would you advise young people to pursue a career in medicine

[thomasjust]

90% of doctors I know regret having selected medicine as a career, the hours, dealing with insurance companies, the time it takes to become a doctor

[gigitooafoo]

It's almost as if they can't be honest or ever say anything against going into medicine.

[thomasgassner]

Is this serious? That is his justification? To highlight flaws or undesirable features of other professions? I'd be surprised if during his med school interview he said "I want to help people, it's the far better profession" as a reason for becoming a doctor.

Lawyers are adversaries until the doctor gets sued

A seemingly noble profession is only as noble in its intention, as the one who fills the role.
It's not that there is anything wrong with a particular profession but rather a question of if the person filling that role is respectable or not. Going into medicine isn't inherently noble or respectable just like everything else. People get too caught up in that, in their pride, instead of doing it right and knowing that you did it right, then you can be proud. But no matter what you do you'll never avoid scrutiny, some deserve to be criticized and reprimanded while others don't but receive it anyways.

[enossalar]

Really? so every other profession doesn't help or improve the society in any way ?

[gigitooafoo]

His answer wasn't very motivating at all.

[nicole-gbpi]

And it's important to feel that you are really helping people in some ways

“Do what you enjoy?” Lol
What a empty statement

[silenthill]

Lol at his ignorance. There is no other profession whose practitioners put their profession and by association, themselves, on such a high pedestal.

[jamesbedukodjograham]

What other professions exist out there.

The video sound is pretty good, beyond my imagination

If your goal is to help people...then why do you need to be paid.Why don't you discharge patients from hospital if they haven't cleared their bills.You shouldn't help people so that you can be paid.🤔
