When filling in the college entrance examination, the medical profession has always attracted much attention. Many high-achieving students are willing to choose medical school because they believe that the future of studying medicine will be brighter. The staffing of doctors, the considerable salaries, and the abundance of development opportunities are the main reasons for their choice. However, some medical students who have already entered the workforce say that the reality after work is completely different from what they imagined, and even more difficult than when they were in school. When others joke and say, "You should find a good kidney in the hospital", it's just a joke, but how hard is the job of a medical student?Communication issues became the biggest challenge.
Studying medicine is indeed a promising career, and after entering the hospital, you can enjoy the establishment, stable income, and abundant development opportunities. For the family, it is also relatively reassuring to have a doctor child. However, the biggest problem facing medical students after graduation is how to communicate effectively with patients. In school, everyone is a peer, can understand each other's academic problems, and there is not much difficulty in communication. But patients don't know anything about medicine, so doctors need to communicate with them in an easy-to-understand way. However, some patients have unpredictable attitudes. For example, the doctor tells the patient that it is not appropriate to eat spicy food, but the patient asks rhetorically, "There are chili peppers in the dish, but I don't think it is spicy, can I eat it?""Doctors can only reluctantly tell patients to think less about those idealistic problems. There are also young people who indulge in milk tea every day, and the doctor said that it can be drunk in moderation, but the patient actually asked, "Can you drink coco?"The doctor really didn't understand this, so he could only answer, "Does Coco give you a sore throat?""The two sides are obviously not on the same channel, and their exchanges can only end in fruitlessness. In addition to the difficulties in communicating with patients, medical students face challenges in other ways.

To overcome communication barriers with patients, medical students need to develop good communication skills. First, they need to learn to convey medical knowledge to patients in plain language and avoid using jargon. Secondly, medical students also need to listen to and respect patients' concerns and opinions, giving them enough time to express their ideas. In addition, medical students should provide comprehensive information to let patients understand the pros and cons of the ** plan, and actively promote the consensus between doctors and patients. In addition, the development of Internet technology has also provided new ways for medical students to improve communication, such as the first doctor consultation platform. Through these platforms, doctors can communicate with patients in real time, answer patients' questions, and provide more convenient medical services. Therefore, medical students need to continuously improve their communication skills to improve effective communication with patients.
Studying medicine is undoubtedly a difficult path, and although the future prospects are attractive, we also have to put in a lot of effort in the process of studying. Compared to other majors, medical majors have a longer study period, with one year longer than other majors at the undergraduate level. Moreover, it is very difficult to learn medical knowledge, and you need to memorize a large number of books every day. It takes years of accumulation and precipitation to truly master medical knowledge. After graduating from undergraduate, many medical students still need to continue their graduate studies in order to better improve their academic standards. Competition among medical students is also fierce, with master's and doctoral graduates everywhere. In order to work in a large hospital, the personal quality and practical ability must be very outstanding. After a long learning period, it is not easy to actually enter the clinical workforce, and those doctors who do finally enter the big hospitals often start as interns, by which time they are approaching the age of 30. In addition, there are many students who cannot find suitable jobs and can only work in private hospitals or small clinics, or even switch to selling medical devices, and the competition is extremely fierce. Compared to their peers in other majors, medical students may appear a little young in the workplace. In addition, doctors work overtime while working in hospitals. Due to the large number of patients waiting for medical appointments and surgeries every day, doctors have very little time to rest. In the event of a major surgery, the doctor may even need to work for hours on end, which is also a big test for the body.
(Supplementary Expansion: The Bitterness and Dedication of Studying Medicine).
Studying medicine does require a lot of dedication and effort. Medical students need to master a great deal of specialized knowledge and memorize various anatomy, pathophysiology, and pharmacology. They also need to learn medical skills through practice, such as first aid, surgical operations, etc. In addition, medical students also need to have a high sense of responsibility and emergency response ability, because doctors' decisions may be directly related to the life safety of patients. Medical students have a relatively long study time, and the depth and breadth of subject knowledge are much higher than those of other majors, and the academic burden is also heavier. There is no doubt that studying medicine is an arduous process that requires medical students to have perseverance and sufficient self-motivation. At the same time, medical students also need to have strong ability to work under pressure and cope with various difficulties, because the working environment of doctors is often challenging and stressful.
Studying medicine is not for everyone, especially students from disadvantaged families. Some people think that studying medicine can change the family situation by making more money and improving social status, but in reality this is not the case. Although there may be good prospects for future development, medical students who can really succeed need to put in a long period of hard work and precipitation. At the undergraduate level, studying medicine requires a lot of money, and at the graduate level, it requires more investment. Even if medical students are able to earn some living expenses, their lives will be relatively hard and they will not be able to focus all their energy on their studies. Therefore, studying medicine may not be a wise choice for students from disadvantaged families. Some students have poor family conditions in themselves, they urgently need to earn money at work to support their families, and they simply can't wait that long to actually become a doctor. In addition, the path to studying medicine is not only a matter of personal ability, but also needs the support and help of the family. If the family's financial situation is not good enough, students may face more pressure and difficulties and cannot concentrate on studying medicine.
Although the process of studying medicine is full of hardships and challenges, it is still a great choice for those who truly love and persevere. The career prospects for medical students are very broad. Working in a hospital, doctors can enjoy a more stable income and a higher social status. The establishment of doctors is very precious, and it is a guarantee of stable work and income**. In addition, the medical profession is also an industry with a very high demand for talents, and the employment rate of graduates is relatively high. After entering the workforce, doctors have many different development directions, such as clinical medicine, scientific research, education, etc. They can choose to work in a major hospital to improve their academic and medical skills. They also have the option to pursue a career in scientific research and make a greater contribution to medicine. In addition, doctors can also choose the education industry to train more medical talents.
In short, although the road to studying medicine is difficult, it is still an industry full of hope and opportunities for those who truly love medicine. In the face of challenges and difficulties, medical students should maintain perseverance and hard work to continuously improve their academic standards and professional qualities. Only in this way can they truly become good doctors and make greater contributions to society and patients.
