Fuck no.
I work for two families - one has both parents that are doctors, the other one parent is a doctor.
They work their arses off. One of them is in her last year of specialist training, and she is out of the house before I get there at 7am, and not home by the time I finish work around 7/8pm. She's also on call every 4th night, and every 3rd weekend. Her 'half day off' each week means she usually gets home by 6. That doesn't sound like a half day to me.
Not to mention all the blood and other bodily fluids. No way.
I have a friend working on his doctorate in physics. He jokes and says he wants everyone to call him "doctor" when he's done. Although, when he says this, I hear it as "dok-tor."
I don't think I'd mind being a medical doctor. But I hate western medicine so I won't be pursuing that in any traditional sense.
Hah I didn't even think of doctorate doctors, I just assumed medical doctor :)
Incidentally, though, the husband of the doctor I mentioned in my comment, who is also a specialising doctor, is currently doing his PhD. I guess that makes him a double doctor :/
Doktor always sounds better :D
I hate hospitals. I have a fear of doctors, and I have nightmares about being in the hospital. They cant check my pulse since everyone time I go I have a panic attack. No I hate all hospitals, clinics, doctors, and medical professionals. So that would be a living nightmare.
No, any high paid job is too much work, you wouldn't enjoy the money. It's catch 22.
I have seriously thought about it before. But you'd have to dedicate pretty much all your time to school and studying, and then... your patients lives are your responsibility. If something goes incredibly wrong, you will be held responsible for any mistakes you've made. I don't know..., it seems like a lot to carry on ones shoulders.
I work at a hospital, and it's not even a big hospital. But even in such a small hospital, I watch doctors running around all day. I hear their names being called over the speaker all day. All day, and everyday.
Now, I know that with every hospital, you have some doctors that are a lot better than others. But you have to watch them run around the way they do and give them credit. God bless them! That's a lot of work to take on!
I have a life that I won't be able to enjoy, at least that's the way it looks so I'm saying no.
