It’s crazy how many people regret studying medicine.

When you hear doctor, you just think prestige and money but so many people regret pursing it.

losing your most social years(all your 20s)to studying.
Putting yourself into hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt.

and being constantly stressed and lacking time is not worth it according to a lot of people.

I was suprised when I saw how many people regret it.

90% of the time their parents pressured them into it.

Some people have a calling to pursue medicine beyond just mere prestige and actually want to heal their patients. The best of physicians are the (1) most competent, (2) most connected and (3) openminded. Patient outcomes improve and there are fewer complications with more empathetic/ compassionate doctors.

I am sure their regret turns into satisfaction once they're practising.
