Is Medicine really a profession worth all this effort?

Whats happening Medico's ?

Medicine is lately becoming the least fashionable profession. You slog over 4 and half years of subject, then you are made to work day after day for another 365 days of internship. and still they say you are not fit. Then starts the tough fight for Entrance into a PG institute. You need to prepare in advance for this preparation or else you will have to do 2 more years of heavy slogging, and still you cant say you will be through. Then once you get a seat starts your real hard work as it is what makes you the Real Doctor. Then...... Still its not over. You have to start over again to survive the competition of well settled doctors and those who have finished with you. And every year more and more of them are just added to your struggle.

If its just this much, pooh.... it would have been ok. But you see your fellow Engineers settling in early 20's and they start earning quite well. There are more professions now which need less sloggingcompared to medicine but give even greater fruits from early on...... Medicine doesn't sound Cost effective or effort effective.

The sad part of the story is that Creative and talented people who lack hard work find this profession a hard one to survive. It seems to purely depend upon Memory and without slogging you wouldnt have it. Even the use of talent comes only after slogging. I dont say that other professions dont need memory but comparitively this one needs mindbloggering content. Many students are already finding this profession hard to go on and are finding alternate paths to go after their dreams.


If only i could change the past !!
