Not worth it for me. |

Date: April 24th, 2017 3:17 PM Author: Shaky peach library the docs i know make so much more than me and my lawyer pals. Granted their schooling seems way harder and then they have to do residency.
and I'm not talking about specialists here either. It seems like even the standard primary care IM and FM guys do way better than us |

Date: April 24th, 2017 3:28 PM Author: Shaky peach library thats another thing, they don't have to take a separate bar for each state like we do. Thats another ridiculous thing about this profession.
I don't know if I could get through their schooling though. Thats the problem.Residency also sounds terrible. But at least at the end of all that you've got an MD and a board certification.
What do we have? A pen and a stack of useless papers? We barely even have papers anymore, what with the internet

I'm not trying to start a fight. I'm just saying I know plenty of miserable, middling doctors who are drowning in more debt than my LS classmates. What year are you? |

Date: April 24th, 2017 4:23 PM Author: jade free-loading field Don't go to med school because you think it might be 'a better career' than law. That's dumb. Or for the money, which is even dumber. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3594161&forum_id=2#33150961) |
|
Date: April 24th, 2017 4:30 PM Author: Shaky peach library so what would like, be a "not dumb" reason to go?
what if went through the army? would that still be dumb? |
|
Date: April 24th, 2017 4:41 PM Author: jade free-loading field A good reason to go would be genuine excitement for medicine.
I hear shitty things about Tricare, nor have I heard of many people who love practicing army medicine. |

Date: April 24th, 2017 4:46 PM Author: Shaky peach library this is why i love this site. Now I feel less shitty about my choices that led me to law (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3594161&forum_id=2#33151126) |
|
Date: April 24th, 2017 4:55 PM Author: jade free-loading field A lot of docs who went into medicine to go with the flow, for career stability, for money, or for prestige lmao, want to leave the field by mid-career, if not sooner, except they can't because of sunk costs.
Practicing medicine means you deal with shitty patients, shitty hours, shitty insurance companies, shitty allied professionals, and all around shittiness. You need intrinsic motivation to keep you going.
Of course, you shouldn't take an internet rando's words for it, so I suggest you read some books like The House of God (outdated but still good), or The Real Doctor Will See You Shortly. The second book was written by a guy who was doing Internal Medicine residency at Columbia when he stuck himself with a needle containing his HIV+ patient's blood. Good times! |

Date: April 24th, 2017 5:15 PM Author: Shaky peach library I dunno man. I read house of god a long time ago. That book was way more interesting than any book I ever read about the practice of law or law school.
Paradise General is another good medicine book. Its about an FP doc who joins the army reserve and gets deployed to iraq. |
