All of my life I have been the 'clever one'. I'm an only child, the only one who can make my parents proud, I want to make them proud, I have the chance right here and now to decide what I get to do for the rest of my life. I'm 16. I'm...

If I would of, I would have been one heck of a good doctor.

Just before starting medical school two horrible things happened to my family.
First I lost a member of my family. Cancer won. He had the best doctor you could imagine. A real man. One who held his hand, knew his work, had time to talk...

After bouncing around in college for a couple years and taking about a gazillion and eight classes, I finally rested on becoming a physician. Get to break into Organic Chemistry next semester (.....gun, anyone?), but I digress, it...

I've wanted to be a doctor since the age of 5. I would always ask for those doctor play sets for Christmas and from then on it became a goal. I thought about being an ER doctor but that's alot to handle so I might become a DO...

In a few months I will finally be a doctor. And I am terrified. I feel like I tricked my way through college, and often wonder how someone like me will be allowed to be an actual real life doctor. I am freakin terrified.

I used to be one of them. A barely mid twenty something making more money than I could figure what to do with at that age.

And then I went to med school.

And I hate to admit it, but somewhere in the back of my mind it's there...

I am already a doctor in my country.. just passed the board exam but I didnt continue residency training. i want to be a doctor in us. Right now, Im preparing for step 1... exam is tough.. I hope I make it..

It still perplexes me. What do I want to acheive as a doctor (once I become one that is)? Anyone can spew out the crap about saving lives and helping people etc etc. Why are doctors so respected in society? Should they be more respected...
