Maaan, I just don’t trust doctors. Not in a “you’re injecting microchips into my bloodstream so bill gates can control my mind” type of way. Rather a “you are another facet of the capitalist society a getting caught in the healthcare system is like getting caught in the justice system. Once you’re in, you’re in” type of way.
I really wanted to become a doctor when I was in college, so I went to pre med meetings.
You are not going to be a doctor if you have to work in college. No, you need to have time to “volunteer” at the right places and scribe. Don’t take challenging classes, because your GPA needs to be perfect. It’s less about learning, less about developing skills, and more about playing the paperwork games.
The US artificially suppresses the number of doctors who can enter the work force every year - doctors have lobbied to keep the number of residencies and thus admissions to medical school low. And these rich fuckers are only going to want to go into dermatology or other high paying fields, while family doctors in rural America are non existent.
Yea that’s pretty wild and sort of goes to show what I’m talking about. I just don’t trust ‘em. How could you possibly care about every single one of your patients individually? I feel like it would drive any sane person crazy to see all these people that you personally care about suffering or worse? It’d be terrible! I’m not saying that doctors don’t care, I’m saying they must be able to, like, turn it off. Treat people more as customers rather than people you are compassionate for.
Can’t blame you. There are good doctors out there who hate the capitalist system and the insurance companies, but they still have to work within that system.
For sure, I’m not necessarily blaming individual doctors, per se. It’s complicated lol.
