I Want to Be a Doctor
Studying to be a lab tech makes me want to go further into the medical profession. I want to be a pathologist. I have talked to several people about this and gotten positive responses: my psychiatrist, my microbiology teacher, our former clinical coordinator. Here are the requirements (not in order):
- Be wierd.
- Like going to school.
- Survive medical school.
- Like money.
- Like lab work.
Number 5 is definitely true for me. I love looking through the microscope and seeing cells and bacteria, etc. My psychiatrist did think I would be good in this area, but he warned about the stress of medical school. He had wanted to be a neurosurgeon but it was too much for him. He said that psychiatry and pathology are "calm" specialties to go into.
