Also disagree with Clarkson. While this list can probably be applied to any career to some extent, these issues are *particularly* problematic in medicine. I worked as an engineer prior to medical school and the latter is an entirely different game. The control it has over your entire life, the inefficiencies, the malignant culture, the sense of entitlement among patients… Even with all the warnings I heard going into it, the experience was still well beyond what I could have imagined.

What Jay is essentially the truth, there are many more unhappy Physicians than unhappy Nurses out there…

You think that you’re making a difference as a Physician ? This profession is slowly being slaughtered by the Government just like they did with Law.
Tuition cost is rising, salaries are still going down, working hours are increasing for almost every Specialty, private setting is saturated, malpractice is tearing Physicians apart, more Med Schools being built without increasing the number of seats in Residency, get DISSED by patients for a yes or no, admission cut-offs decreasing for most Universities…etc.

Want me to say more ?

2010 is not a good era to become a Physician, most Medical Students i know(even those who dreamed about it since the age of 10) regret their choice of profession and would have preferred getting into Dentistry or Business.

NP? You’re a joke. I couldn’t imagine shoveling the bull you shovel into your “patients” minds to anyone I honestly wanted to get better.
If you are in med school and bitching on this site, go fuck yourself. You obviously got into it for the money. You have been given a privilege and you are shitting on it. Seriously, all you nancy fucks can suck a dick.

DAMN THAT FELT GOOD. I’M GANA GO SAVE SOMEONES LIFE NOW.

Yep. Medical school is a waste of your time. I’m a NP and I do the exact same thing, get nearly 85% of your salary, and didn’t spend my life believing that western medicine and pharmaceutical companies had the answer. Yes! And the patients love me, and I truly help them, by spending time with them. I’m sorry you never got socialized.

I disagree with Clarkson completely. I’ve worked in corporate environments then decided to change careers and will graduate from medical school this month. I can honestly say that medical school is much different than training in a corporate setting. Unless you’ve gone through it, you’re not going to get it.
