Doctors' life the best?

Many people have the misconception of a doctor's life actually. Been showered by all the comments that i actually think that it's not totally true although some of it is true.

First, most people say that doctor earns much, which i would definitely disagree. Doctors nowadays don't earn much. They used to...in the olden days. Very very old. Doctors used to hold a higher status and owns a big paycheck due to their profession's rarity. But today, we are coming to a doctors' boom actually. Doctors here and there. And doctors, apart from their heavy responsibities in saving lives, some, who, very unfortunate, have one of their patients dies, been sued for their mistakes. I dunno why most people only grumble about their mistake and very rare that on occasion we see patients are grateful to the doctors because most of them think that that is their responsibility and work.

Second, doctors here is truly having miserable life. Let's say a doctor, after having done through the on-call system, working 36 hours ++ in the hospital, gets home, lie down on the bed, and then the phone rings, emergency call, and he would have to rush back to the hospital. That's what really happen. They don't have private life at all. When i say 'at all', it's really like that.

Then maybe you will ask me why i choose medicine then? Well, i could only say, i used to make doctor an aim so that i could achieve much in SPM. Inspiration and motivation. But now, i found that despite all the cons that flood the pros, i am really into it already. I really don't want to waste my life away, living a rich guy, doing nth but doing their habitual thg every little day (eat, work, sleep, and so on) To me, it's just too monotonous. But as a doctor, i could maybe save one or two lives. Even though in the end they may not thank me for that, i would still be happy just to be able to drag someone back from the netherlands. Some ppl may say i am just under parents' pressure or that i have other bad motives in being a doc that i may not like. Seriously, my parents don't want me to be a doctor, they want...erm..not want cox they never forced me, they recommend a lawyer you know? A lawyer~~~ I dunno why...mayb cox if i am a lawyer, then they would have a chemist, engineer, doctor, and lawyer at home. But ofc that may not be what they are thinking. Being a lawyer is not a bad thing, but it's just not to my interest.

I know that one of the days ahead i may feel that maybe medicine is not my stuff anyway. But i can say forehanded that i would never regret as i have chosen what i want to be now and at least for now, i am happy for my decision. Maybe in a year's time i would realize how unfit i am for the job, but there is always a way out. So, sometimes, it's better to look ahead far enough, but at other times, looking too far may caused u even more troubles. haha, that reminds me of 'The Road Not Taken' =P
