Last week we had Dr. Mark Baxter speak to us. He had a lot to say about practicing medicine. He gave us a good look at some of the not so great things that come with the job such as malpractice suits and a busy schedule. These things may sound awful, but for those aspiring doctors out there it is important to recognize that these things do exist in this profession. Dr. Baxter mentioned good things about practicing medicine as well, such as saving lives and improving peoples quality of life on a day to day basis.
Overall the lesson to be learned from this presentation was that to become a doctor we need to accept that there is going to be bad experiences as well as good experiences and that is going to be unavoidable. If we make the best of the situation good things will happen, and if we can't, then maybe we should choose a different profession. I hope that all of you pre-med people out there can take this lesson to heart and accept all aspects of the profession and make a difference!
