To have your friends run into your class and yell, "Paging Dr. Faggot!" would make my day. In order for that to happen, I'd have to get into medical school. (that's at least part of the process to becoming an MD)
No matter how embarrassing your dumbass friends can be, on the inside, you smile, pat yourself on the back, and know that you made it.
To be able to walk down the street in your white coat or scrubs and have people checkin you out. and you think to yourself...BOSS. Wouldn't that be nice? But it shouldn't be the only reason to become a doctor...lol
In this post, I will try to hammer out a good reason to attend medical school. If there's a way, there's a will.
My chances of getting into a medical school in the states are coming to a slim thread.
Now picture yourself pulling your hair in front of you. Take a razor. Thin your hair. That's me as school continues. This works the same for pubes as well.
I still have the Caribbean to look forward to. (Lower Requirements) Every year, more prospects look towards the Caribbean for their medical degrees. More of these school are becoming accredited. They might not have as many opportunities and residencies there, but what the hell. It's my only shot at the title. I'd be away from my friends and family for 4 years. It would be hard, but new friends and family will be made. (Not replacements, but you get the idea)
Now I must ask myself, "Why do I want to become a doctor?"
For the money? -->of course, but it's not the number 1 reason...
For the satisfaction I get after making someone's life more comfortable? -->yes, but this can be done in other professions (DO, PA, Nursing)
Just have the title, MD after my name? -->sure, that wouldn't hurt...
Having been brought up my whole life thinking about becoming a doctor and nothing else? --> yup
The things I could do as an MD are superior to those of Nurses, PA, and DOs.
I need a really good reason to pursue this degree. If helping people medically is really what I want to do, then I can easily do that as a PA. They have more contact and interaction with patients than the doctors do anyways.
It's pretty much "More personal, more interaction vs more responsibility and more managerial-type position."
Go for it, v chan. I was thinking about doing some medical stuff but I think I've learned I'm not cut out for several years of school. You have what I lack; hard work. Not to say I don't work hard but when it comes to school... I can be best described as a Snorlax.
