Medical Student vs Doctor

Being a medical student I always had some curiousity like all the other medicos, let’s point the expectations we had when we were students vs what actually happens:-

Confidently diagnosing rare diseases
Reality: Googling symptoms before every class. :face_without_mouth:

Always surrounded by smart people
Reality: No one knows what’s going on 80% of the time😶

Learning cool procedures
Reality: Learning how to carry patients’ files and writing notes😶

Glamorous night shifts
Reality: Sleeping for 3 hours and reading whole night.:face_without_mouth:

:lady_beetle:What were your student vs doctor realisations ?? :lady_beetle:

Being a medical student I feel proud myself and think that yes I have really a fruitful future.

But when I seen the doctors in my hospital then sometimes I get scared…there is no time to eat, no sleep, overtime duties, mental frustration and much more.

Life of a medical student and a doctor is much different.
