MGTOW and medicine

Pathology, radiology, anesthesiology are all minimal patient interaction. Research is a possiblity,

Any female you run into only sees the income, including other doctors. In dealing with them, always be professionally pleasant. No informal banter between surgeries, never eat together, find a place to go where they can't easily follow.

Cultivate reading, it isolates you in a busy environment.

Be very moderate in recreational drug or alcohol use, it makes it too easy to destroy your life.

Find a place you can be John, not Dr. Doe. You can't be a regular guy around other guys if they meet you as a doctor first.

On that note, do not advertise you are a doctor with a license plate, sticker or clinical clothes outside the clinical suite. It is a lot easier to cut line if people know your profession, but you are also asking for unwanted attention.

Finally, unless you are a sociopath, you will sooner or later run into a patient that gets past all you armor. That will be the moment that emotionally tests you in ways you have never imagined.

Clinical detachment is something that I know you've been lectured on more than a few times in your sixth year but it's something that you're going to have to cultivate in your practice, especially if you're going to be attached to a hospital as opposed to operating your own business. You will, as a physician, be exposed to all manner of detestable shit. Jobless women living off the government teat as baby mills. People clutching to the last vestiges of life despite the entirely of their adult choices giving every indication that suicide is the only goal to which they really dedicated themselves. Sex workers whose bodies are caught in a war between STIs and substance abuse. The part of you that's you, the part that will be disgusted or offended by these people, has to be tucked away neatly inside for you to be able to treat these people as diseases to be cured. In some ways it's callous but it's also the only way I know of to get through internship and residency with your sanity intact.

If you do not wish to work in a clinical setting then I think it’s path, rads and gas are your choices.

I would encourage you to not make judgements on your career based on what you are seeing on rotations in 4th year at what I’m presuming is an urban hospital.

Real world practice of medicine has its frustrations and bullshit. No doubt. But it’s much better than school.

I don’t have any respect for doctors or anyone to do with the healthcare industry. You guys aren’t curing shit. Just another bureaucratic cash machine preying on the ignorant.

I'm not a doctor but I can say you don't want to jump in a career when your young that you already dislike, that spells disaster down the line because you will spend all your money on your off time trying to make up for the misery of your work time. Find something you can do make nice money and still leave work not feeling like complete horse dung. This way when the years start piling up you don't burn out.

How about transferring to vet school?

Dogs are nice people.
