I was interested in medicine in high school. I was able to shadow a few physicians and talk about career options. At the time I was shocked that most of the physicians I talked to said they would take a different career path if they could do it over again. The common theme was that they felt it used to be a respected profession but now they’re broadly just cogs in a healthcare system that given them little freedom for professional discretion and lots of paperwork. I ultimately didn’t pursue medicine.
