What kind of experience do you think it is to study medicine?

I am an anesthesiologist, familiar with internal medicine (mainly respiratory medicine and cardiology), but familiar with surgical system.

First of all, let me talk about internal medicine. In my opinion, all diseases that need medical treatment are basically self-healing, and the purpose of treatment is only to accelerate this process; On the other hand, what cannot be cured is basically incurable, and the purpose of treatment is only relief, not cure. Therefore, doctors need a lot of time to communicate with patients, and their sense of accomplishment is not as good as surgery. It is more suitable for talkative people who like to chat with patients, mothers who have solid theoretical foundation but lack practical ability, and middle-aged children who are enthusiastic and malicious. In the final analysis, as a doctor, you need to be familiar with the whole human system. What makes you famous? "Talent!"

Secondly, talk about surgery. I think most diseases that need surgical treatment basically need to see blood. Tumor? Cut it off! Appendix? Cut it off! Gallbladder? Cut it off! Thyroid? Cut it off! (Orthopedics laughs without saying a word) ... Very bright, condescending, and full of sense of accomplishment ... This is fantasy. In fact, it is a day when I rub varicose veins, write medical records and roll back to the ward with a hook. According to my personal observation, surgeons want to succeed not by studying hard and practicing hard, but by understanding, mainly "talent!"

To sum up, I unilaterally talked about the choice of internal surgery, each with its own advantages. Oh, I forgot to mention that no matter whether you have talent or not, you can't handle it with a few knives or concentrated sulfuric acid. It is suggested that friends who want to study medicine go to Shaolin Temple first.
