Humanity is hopeless
I am a doctor working for the past 15 years at both the hospital and now GP clinic.
After I graduated, as much as I want to uphold the oath in serving the sick, I find myself feeling despair for the general public as time goes by. Call me irresponsible but you do not know the effort I put into serving the community selflessly as long as I could.
Every encounter with idiots and stupid people slowly chips away the drive and passion I once had to helping people out of their medical problems. Unfortunately they are not rare or uncommon. 30% is the rough estimate percentage of idiots I see daily. The most common type of idiots I see are liars.
Other types include self-entitled, demanding, abusive, stubborn and etc. It made me come to a conclusion that this profession is meaningless. I do not see the reason in helping out idiots, I do not think they deserve it. They waste my time that I could have meaningfully spend on genuine patients.
Simply search for any hospital or clinics in Google Maps, read the reviews and you will understand the public’s attitude. I’m confident that I would not be the only one with this mentality.
I give up. Good luck to humanity.
Here are what netizens think:
- You must be salaried. Open your own clinic and let life take over ideals.
- Serve with a willing heart. Above all, you had the opportunity to read medicine, amongst the 1 percentile of courses. Consider your blessings and every grudge and complaints will diminish.
- Understood that some may try to fake a sickness but i think its not right for a doctor to say such words. Even if the person have a mild sickness its still considered sick. If they find out which doctor, im sure that clinic will have a very bad review. The best place for u to attend to patients that u felt is real and challenging is hospital. Nowhere else
- The problem I see in most young doctors is that they don’t know what to do. Some will even google to show you the details! To be honest, I know my own body better than anyone else. Sometimes, they didn’t believe that you had had such a pain and will think that it’s funny or strange. Sometimes, they didn’t even bother to touch the part to check. Like that I also can be a doctor you know!
