Pub, > I did it out of the love for Medicine not the money.......lay people just don't understand. I understand very well, since I have a lot of doctor friends, some of whom really do charity work in third-world countries. But I noticed you didn't directly answer the question. Of course you have to love (or at least tolerate) medicine to a certain extent. I know one girl who made it all the way to a prestigious medical school only to give up mid-way through because she decided she "hates patients." Lot of things she could have done to get the doctorate and the title without having to deal with patients, but it was just too tough for her. Anyway, you gotta love the subject matter you studied your ass off no matter what. That's a given. What isn't a given is whether you would have done it if the pay were no better than that of a teacher, a nurse, a police officer, or a firefighter. Then I'll believe that you actually did it not out of money, but out of sheer love of medicine. Because I've seen very few cases where doctors went through all of that hell just to end up with a job that doesn't pay much. It happens, just not very often. Tenchusatsu
