The medical profession draws the best students to its ranks every year. However, several studies have indicated occupational burnout as growing problem among current medical practitioners suggesting that enthusiasm is soon replaced by pessimism and cynicism. Despite this, thousands of students all over the country are still eager to pursue the medical profession. What motivates them to become doctors? Do these young men and women really know what kind of work environment awaits them during the course of their medical education and training? Studies from other countries have indicated that students are not always aware of what they are getting into when they join the medical profession. Thus, they may have unrealistic perceptions of the medical curriculum and of medical practice later. It has also been observed that many students prefer a career in medicine because of parental pressure and therefore lack motivation of their own. Besides it is to be remembered that in many countries the majority of children taking this decision are very young and have lead a very protected life under parental guidance. Little has been done to examine whether they understand the demands and rigors of a career in medicine once they decide to choose it.

Medicine is a fascinating science. For some doctors, this is the key reason why we strive to do this job. Medicine is a course that offers all round knowledge about how we work. A lot of medical schools describe medicine as more of an art form than a science. Medicine offers huge scope for going into a diverse range of fields. GPs may choose specific areas to specialize in as e.g. Dermatology or Ears, Nose and Throat medicine, Gynecology, Neurology, Cardiology and many others.
But with the new rise in University tuition fees, studying degree in Medicine will be very expensive. Besides, medicine is typically a course that involves 5 or 6 years of study that is why doctors start their careers much later than other professions.

No matter where you live in the world, doctors attain a level of respect and trust beyond most other jobs. Medical knowledge empowers us to be able to do at least something for the people around us. Even if a condition is incurable, we are still about to bring comfort to those who suffer and at least help them through the remainder of their life. It is perhaps this feeling that your knowledge has helped someone that makes this job so morally rewarding. But it goes without saying that dealing with difficult cases can be physically and emotionally draining. There will be countless situations where you will have to deal with angry, upset, drunk, and violent patients, on some occasions by yourself. You should hold yourself together and be able to treat those situations as calmly as possible because even minor mistakes can have dire consequences. A doctor’s job is a very invasive one and we must take every care to ensure we keep these mistakes to a minimum. No matter how hard we try though, mistakes will happen, and part of being a doctor is being able to look past those mistakes and learn from them. This can be difficult for some people. It is usually this amount of responsibility that puts even the most intelligent students off from wanting to do medicine. The key is to be confident about your own abilities and be comfortable with the decisions you make. These generally take time and experience to develop so don’t give up before you’ve tried it.
No doubt you will hear from many people that you shouldn’t do medicine for the money. However, money gives you a sense of security that having spent so many years of sweat and tears studying constantly, that at least you have a decent enough salary to earn a decent living. Many of us might complain how we aren’t paid very well, the truth is that currently we have a level of assurance that we aren’t very likely to lose our job during hard economic times than other professions.
