Not a conspiracy diaper!

Is all this worth becoming a doctor?

A confusing time

There are some jobs you need a sense of humor to be able to do; otherwise, there would be no way you could get through every day and still keep your sanity. Nursing is one of those professions . Nurses must deal with the public in ways many service workers never have to. Nurses have to control scared and angry people who don't want to be where they are and administer healthcare to those people. I literally could never. I learned that nursing was no joke when my friend who works as a psychiatric…

Medical school sounds good in concept. Whose parents don't want them to have a prestigious career? Being a doctor is a surefire way to make any mom or dad proud of you for the foreseeable future, not to mention all of the other benefits of this field. You don't have to get an actual job until you're 30, you will leave without your sanity, and you will have thousands of dollars in student loan debt! What could go wrong?

People who work in the medical field see all sorts of crazy things on a daily basis. There’s nothing weirder than bodies and how people act about them, but it doesn’t stop a trip to the doctor’s office feeling like an awkward situation. This is doubly true when it comes to an appointment dealing with the body parts you’d be arrested for exposing in public. This can be nerve wracking even when you know what’s coming, let alone if you’re presented with an unexpected checkup with the OB-GYN like R…

That's dedication.
