Here is an email I received recently from someone I know who is currently at a top 10 med school (i'm not listing the med school for anonimity reasons). Is this really true? I personally know i'll *NEVER* end up like this... for i've had more hospital experience than this guy ever had before he got into med school - so i'd like to think i know what i'm getting myself into more than him. nonetheless, what he says, and how he says is disturbing... will my PEERS really be like this? I know i'll never be like this, but how shameful it would be if my colleagues had these attitudes.
About Residency -
I wouldn't wish that miserable life on my worst enemies. I hate
medicine and everything about it. Every resident I've met has been the most
hateful and cynical beaten-down dog. Everyone I know chooses residency
based on the quality of life and the amount of money they will make.
You'd never believe just how popular Radiology is. Plus, it doesn't
help if every resident-friend that I have begs me to stay away and
actually do something useful with my degree, like make money and have time for
a family. So there is a very strong possibility that I'll be joining
some biotech company somewhere in Europe for a substantial sum of money.
If not - then Plastic surgery it is... only so I would not have to
deal with these nasty, decomposing bags of **** called patients. ****ing
rectal surgeries don't smell as half as bad as these geriatric farts
who are all demented across the board and **** and pee on themselves every 30 minutes. This is what a typical patient looks like in a hospital.
you should hear my classmates go off on this topic. hahaha Here is a very bright
future that awaits medicine!
Peace.
