Having watch my brother go through medical school I have a renewed respect and appreciation for what it takes to be a medical doctor. Years and years of study, rotations, book work, case work, residency and finally twelve years or more later a medical doctor.
These are years where failing a test or a diagnosis or missing an obvious clue can end your medical career. And after all the debt, years and hard work the board exam are the final straw for some medical students. I watched with wonder as they read the names of his graduating class. It is not something to be taken lightly. It is not an easy road.
If you are in it for the money, there are much easier paths to follow to have a larger home, no other occupation that I know of demands so much of its students. I have watched my other brother who is a pilot study and stress over check-rights and simulators and oral and written tests, but nothing compares with having someones life in your care while you are going to school.
For one of my brothers residencies, he worked in a border town in Texas, he saw more knife wounds, gun shots, trauma and life threatening situations in that year than the average small town doctor sees in a life time. He was prepared for anything after that and gained a renewed respect for ER doctors who deal with this on a regular basis.
He did rotations with obstetricians, family doctors, surgery, ophthalmologist, urologist and finally a anesthesiologist which captured his heart and imagination and ultimately decided his future. He has
been practicing anesthesiology now for about four years and loves every day he goes to work.
There are many Bay Area doctors that are professional, competent, highly skilled and trained to help with ails you. If you doctor has MD after their name, they have withstood the grueling process. Find a doctor with a personality that fits your specific needs and that you can rest confident in their care.
