1. YO should I go to medical school

2.Are there things to do other than you know... cut people up and give them pills if they're sick?

3. You are asking people on a comic book message board to choose your life path.


Um, I say No, no, no. In fact, I cannot say it strongely enough.

I don't think anybody's opinion is going to be a deal breaker.

He just wants to hear what we think the pros and cons are.

 

[Dew k. Mosi]

asking for life choices on the Hype is a big CON

Becoming a doctor? That’s for chumps, you should drop out of school, move into a mobile home and start cooking up meth.

Additionally, there are general practitioners who don't work in hospitals but instead in offices, treating minor things such as colds, shots etc and just writing prescriptions and sending people to specialists. They also spend less time in medical school because they aren't specialized such as other doctors or surgeons.

However, it's a long road just to that and for someone who doesn't seem even interested in the medical field, not only that but the $$$ of loans you have to pay off, and even in then you have to be somewhat interested in what you are doing.

You quoted all my other posts, but not the one that actually had the more significant insight in the field?

I'm really going nuts trying to pick a career because nothing has grabbed me yet. I didn't have a huge desire to be a doctor in the traditional sense (treating sick people, doing surgery etc and I definately would botch any plastic surgery) but out of my jealousy of people who went to medical school I was thinking about it and thought to myself, I'm going to take the MCATs just to prove to myself I could get into if I wanted to. I figured it was all a bunch of medical and anatomy stuff that I'd have to study for 9 years for just so I could get the extremely high score I wanted on the test... I looked it up and turns out it's about biology/chemistry/physics, exactly what I took in college. Hell I already know half of the stuff on the test... if I studied for the mcats I'd just be studying for two tests at the same time (GREs).
Do the mcats expect you to just know the information you took in premed classes or expect you to be like a triple major and have taken all the major classes for ALL three subjects?

Anyway... what are the pros and cons of being a medical doctor? Are there things to do other than you know... cut people up and give them pills if they're sick?

remember don't give them crap if their hypocondriacts
