There is no longer ‘art’ in medicine. Treatment is reduced to a flow chart put forth by the medical specialty of body system interest, devised hand-in-hand with industry and govt, and reimbursed by the payer system, be it insurance or medicare/medicaid (ie big govt).
My husband and I have already voiced our views to deter our children from pursuing our professional path. I have commented similarly to other parents regarding their children’s schooling choices.
Note the debt produced by most students on the medical professional paths is crushing. It creates ‘good little soldiers’ that tow the line (ie the flow chart) imposed.
The only medical professions that may be reasonable are podiatry, audiology, dentistry, and veterinary medicine. Posters here please refute or add to my list.
Naturopathic medicine, chiropractic, and acupuncture. Each have their place.
