Doc, are you just being a bit oversensitive today or is this your normal frame of mind? Imagine what your life would have been if you were a cop or a trucker. Imagine getting cussed at all day long by everyone around you.
I know you literally worked your ass off to become a doctor. Did you think it was going to be a smooth ride once you got into private practice. Should criticism of your profession vanish because you joined it?
I have seen more doctors who I considered not worthy of the title than ones who were. Imagine being a vet where the patient couldn't tell you where it hurt and how bad.
My old grey hair family doctor died a decade ago. He was one of the few that I always called Sir if any other patients were within hearing distance. My current chiropractor is another who fits the title also. These men and their families were/are familiy friends.
We're all in the same income bracket but I wouldn't join your profession for triple the income. The stress level is much higher than I would want to tolerate.
You know if you're a good doctor or not, I can't make that decision without being your patient and talking with your fellowmen and the RN's. I hope you are because if you are then your sense of satisfaction at the end of each day can be tremendous.
Hear's hoping you have a Happy New Year.
The author has a two digit IQ. But don't worry, he makes up for it in pure ego.
What a putz.
Perhaps you could offer some analysis and conclusion for the data that you present.
Thanks.
analysis and conclusion
Live by the Commandments because death could be the in next step you take.
Huh. Somehow I think a lot of bad actors are after his good doctor. He walks around with a big bull's eye on his back.
(You could try a better state--leave all those doc-hating Pennsylvanians behind.)
