The Big Question: Would You Choose It Again?
You’ve walked the rounds. Faced the stress. Cried in silence. Smiled in success.
Now, be honest…
If you could go back in time — would you still choose medicine?
Yes, every time
Maybe, with changes
No, not again
Tell us why.
Was it the calling, the community, or the care?
Or do the long hours, burnout, and constant pressure make you reconsider?
Let your voice be heard this National Doctors’ Day.
Haha maybe not , next time i will take the job where i will have more time for my happiness,
Most of the times I enjoyed but sometime I also get the demotivated like everyone else.
But I don’t think, I am made for some other profession. Even being in medical content writing, it’s only medicine that is helping.
So, maybe with some changes but only in Healthcare profession.
May be not…
May be not.
I can see that everyone has the same opinion that, we are not choosing it again . Especially due to the hectic long hours and no holidays.
not again for sure
Definitely, I’ll choose only medicine. I didn’t and won’t think of any second option. But, one thing is I’ll try to enter in first or second attempt itself, no rerepeat.
Maybe, but definitely not in this country. Hahaha I don’t hate my country but the amount of exploitation of healthcare professionals that happens in this country probably doesn’t happen anywhere else. We are such a big country with such large population and responsibility of such large population is onto a tiny fraction who are healthcare professionals. With poor quality insufficient resources, with the sense of irresponsibity among senior doctors and poor human resource management, this country requires a medical revolution. This is the very reason that I am choosing to work in UK rather than India.
So yeah if given another chance, I would choose medicine but not in India.
Maybe , with changes
Definitely not! No respect for doctors, long work hours and no time for personal commitments!
If given a chance again would have contributed to healthcare as a dietician or psychologist or epidemiologist.
May be with changes.
I couldn’t think of anything better than being a doctor. It was my childhood dream, not because anyone told me to become one, but because I chose it myself, for myself.
Back then, being a doctor simply meant healing patients. I didn’t really know ‘why’ I was choosing it.
It was during my MBBS that I realized it’s so much more than that.
Even though medicine was always my true calling, what sets my journey apart is that I chose not to join the rat race.
I didn’t spend years waiting or exhausting myself over a clinical branch for postgraduation.
I got a pre-clinical subject, something I had never imagined myself doing. But I chose it. I didn’t waste my time, energy, or hope.
Today, when I see people talking about career options after MBBS because they don’t want to go through the PG exams,
I wonder, why don’t they choose a pre-clinical subject?
It takes a lot of courage.
I’m glad I was courageous, and it worked out pretty well for me.
And I feel so content answering this question right now, with a wholehearted ‘yes’.
Yes, I would choose to be a doctor again and again.
Yes, but with changes.
In a country like India, where doctor are always undervalued…
I wouldn’t take it up.
Definitely A BIG NOOOOO
I will choose it again bcoz I love the field I have chosen
