This article was writing with meticulous attention to the detail and with the aim of conveying to the reader the desire to become a doctor. But not just any desire: aspiration, free from the illusion that medicine is the only path to success. Being a doctor has its advantages and disadvantages, and before embarking on this path, it is an essential to have at least some understanding of them. I hope, however, that those who choose to become doctors, and those who have always aspired to it, we will be able to accept these drawbacks, because beyond them, I believe it is a truly wonderful profession.
Being a doctor is a good profession with a good salary, especially after years of study. Unfortunately, the downsides include a significant demand for physical and mental sacrifice. Doctors is must be able to support patience and maintain the right emotion respond an attitude, regardless of their life circumstances. An in return, they have the opportunity to save lives and bring joy to people and their families.
Being a doctor isn't just about treating patients. It's also about being able to develop a long term treatment plan, prescribing the right medication from among hundreds of possible options. It's about knowing how to perform tests and interpret the results using knowledge that extend beyond the anatomy area. And above all, being a doctor requires humility and referring a patient to a specialist when one lacks the necessary skills. That's what doctors do.
A typical day for a doctor begins in the morning at the hospital. They must consult with patience, assess their symptoms, diagnose their problems, make treatment decisions, sometimes heat-wrenching ones, and sometimes work late, or even at night, due to an emergency or a lack of staff.
Doctors can work in many places : hospitals, private clinics, university hospitals, and health organizations.
Do become a doctor, you must first complete the natural sciences program at CEGEP. Next, you apply to a medical school and take the MCAT exam. After four years of primarily theoretical studies, you begin your internship and residency, adding an average of four years to your training. Finally, you must write a doctoral thesis and pass exams to obtain your license to practice medicine.
Doctors earn very good salaries. However, new doctors often have to pay off large student debts that can be over $100,000.
After medical school, doctors need to complete an internship and a residency, which usually last at least three years. Some specialties require even more years of training. Furthermore, being a doctor means to be a student for life. Indeed, giving that technology evolves daily, medicine also evolves daily, requiring doctors to always stay connected to news developments and changes.
Being a doctor often means being exposed to anxiety and stressed. Indeed, medicine is a field closely linked to life and death. Stress and emotions can accumulate and, without treatment, lead to depression. Not to mention the physical problems caused by fatigue from night shifts and others sleepless shifts lasting more than 24 hours.
It's very unlikely that doctors will be replaced by robots soon. Technology can certainly help to test data and make predictions, but only human beings or truly capable of deeply understanding emotions and making complex decision, sometimes against all immediate logic, in order to achieve the patient's recovery.
Most doctors retire around 65, but it depends on the person. Some, defying common sense, prefer to work until they are 90, because that is how they define themselves as human beings: doctors. Others will seize the first opportunity to leave their jobs and enjoy their retirements.
Medicine is a demanding field, but also a very rewarding one. You learn a great deal about others, and all above all, about yourself. Of course, it's a field that requires many years of study and long hours of work, while others do parties. But rest assured that if you do your job with patient and dedication, you will truly change people's lives, even if you only like knows a simple cough.
