The medical profession has always been in the spotlight, and many students want to be able to attend medical school. The main reason for choosing to study medicine is that the future of medical students will be better - with a stable establishment and a decent salary. However, some medical students who have graduated from medical school and entered the workforce say that life after work is more difficult than when they were in school. One of the biggest difficulties lies in communicating effectively with patients. When I was in medical school, we were all peers, and there was no obstacle to discussing academic issues. However, communication between doctors and patients is not so easy. Some patients don't know anything about medicine, and doctors need to spend more effort communicating with them. Sometimes, some patients will also say frustrating words that make doctors unable to respond. This communication barrier not only affects the communication between the doctor and the patient, but also the communication between the doctor and the family. Some family members have unrealistic expectations of the doctor's work, believing that the doctor can do things beyond his or her capabilities. This has caused great distress and stress for doctors.
Medical students, especially after a long period of study and practice, face many challenges when entering the workforce. The path to studying medicine is not easy, not only does it require a lot of study at the undergraduate level, but it also requires further study. Medical students are extremely difficult to study, and they memorize a large number of medical books every day, from basic knowledge to professional knowledge, without any sloppiness at all. In order to truly master medical knowledge, medical students need to undergo years of in-depth study, and most students also need to pursue a master's or doctoral degree after graduation. The circle of medical students is very introverted and competitive. In order to enter a large hospital, in addition to having solid medical knowledge, it is also necessary to demonstrate excellent personal ability. However, after a long learning process, it is rare for medical students to be able to successfully enter the workforce. Many medical students can only start as interns, which means they don't get into the formal workforce until they are around the age of 30. In addition, a large number of medical students cannot find their dream jobs, and end up working in private hospitals, small clinics, or even switching to selling medical devices. Compared to students in other majors, there is a significant gap in the career development of medical students. In addition, there is a relatively high number of overtime cases in hospitals, especially in large hospitals that are overcrowded, and doctors have very limited time to rest. The load on the body is also a huge test.
Communication between doctors and patients has always been a challenge. Patients have limited knowledge of medicine, and medical students need to explain medical issues such as medical conditions and protocols to them in easy-to-understand language. However, some patients are stubborn and find it difficult to accept the doctor's advice. For example, the doctor explicitly tells the patient not to eat spicy food, but the patient asks, "Is it okay to have chili peppers in the dish, but I don't think it's spicy?"The doctor was also helpless, so he could only patiently persuade the patient to eat less chili peppers. In addition, some patients are overly optimistic about their condition and are reluctant to give up unhealthy lifestyle habits. For example, some young people drink milk tea every day, and the doctor tells them that they can drink it in moderation, but they think they can drink "a little" milk tea brand, and then ask the doctor if the "coco" milk tea can be drunk. The doctor replied helplessly, "Do you have a sore throat?""It's not uncommon for doctors and patients to have friction because of inconsistencies in the understanding of both sides of the conversation. In addition, there are some patients who misunderstand medicine**, hold wrong expectations, and make demands on doctors beyond their capabilities. For example, if a family member needs a kidney transplant, the family member will ask the doctor if he can choose a good kidney from among the patients. This unrealistic expectation has caused great distress and frustration for doctors.
Family conditions are an important factor influencing whether students choose to study medicine. Many families believe that doctors, with their high professional status and good income, can change the fortunes of their families. However, in real life, not every medical student is able to enjoy the above treatment. Studying medicine comes at a huge financial cost, whether it's at the undergraduate level or continuing to study for a master's or doctorate. Studying medicine can be a burden for students from disadvantaged families. Studying medicine requires a lot of time and effort, and medical students often have to rely on temporary jobs to supplement their living expenses. As a result, the life of a medical student is very stressful and it is not possible to devote all of their energy to their studies. In addition, students from poor families often cannot wait for years of study, and are forced to enter the workforce early under financial pressure. This poses significant risks and challenges for students and families.
Although studying medicine has good career development and income prospects, it also faces many difficulties and challenges. Medical students go through a long learning and practice process, as well as the pressure of communication barriers with patients and unrealistic expectations. In addition, the family conditions and academic pressure of medical students are also a major challenge. Therefore, choosing to study medicine requires weighing the pros and cons, and respecting the individual's ideas and family conditions.
