Behold, the mentally deranged lib living in his fantasy world.

And by the way, on cue, the first jackass to bring their reactionary politics into a non political discussion. What a hypocrite. Utter and completely hypocrite. But too dumb and brainwashed to see it.

Hey fvck face; I wasn’t talking to you.

So?

I am taking to you.

Yeah and you’re wrong to assume I’m some radical leftist. Seems to be a theme around here..

So you think the world needs more drugs, more medical procedures, more PhD students and more undergrads with worthless degrees and mountains of debt in the form of student loans?

Lol the fvck if I know! All I’m saying is why be a doctor when half the American population hates doctors, government/anyone in authority. I’m expressing a genuine sentiment this young lad may need to consider. He could just go into finance and game fools like you and I instead of I don’t know..saving lives!

I suggest that you apply to a few M.S. programs, get research experience, kick ass and then apply to top tier Ph.D. programs. During the M.S. you will either realize: 1. this is amazing, I love research or 2. this is OK/horrible but I can't imagine doing this for 4+ more years and then post-doc etc.

Getting an M.S. and then moving to industry, sales, management etc. is much better than dropping out of a Ph.D. program.

Assuming OP is bright enough to even think about tackling a PHD he could probably make more money shorting stocks at some hedge fund in NY or Puerto Rico. Can’t imagine these doctors trying to save someone choking in their own lung mucus and spouse is screaming about ivermectin or some sh!t. Total lunacy.

Hell I’ll even go out on a limb and assume antibiotics are ok to treat infections.

I thought this would be a post about not being able to party like a rock star in the dorms. That would be the real issue with the COVID restrictions on college campuses. Who cares about some research paper nobody will ever read? College is all about getting krunked with a bunch of coeds.

1. Why would you make a life decision based on what other people like? (“Americans hate doctors”. Wtf?)

2. Why are you so loose with the term doctor? Are you taking about medical doctors, cuz I’m pretty sure a person holding a PhD in gender studies is not “saving lives”. The oP didn't indicate his field of study. If he did I missed it.

3. How is more research and massive resources allocated to pharma and the medical industry saving lives when the results show the opposite ?

4. Are you drunk?

I get it. You don’t go out often. Yes; a large portion of this country does not trust doctors. Specifically the ones with the expertise to make vaccines in case you’ve been living under a rock for the last two years. why else are we waging this war on people like Dr. Fauci? Jesus Christ don’t be so dense

When you say doctor, what do you mean? Are you talking about a phd in gender studies? What does that have to do with vaccines?

A medical doctor sir. Someone who either treats sick patients or works on developing medicine. THAT SORT OF DOCTOR. is the OP studying gender studies, did I miss something? Why are you obsessed with gender studies!?

The area of interest is biomedicine (pharmacology). So yes, I'd indirectly be saving lives by understanding disease mechanisms, picking a drug target (usually an enzyme or some cell receptor), and then helping to move the drug through clinical trials.

Why do you think the op is asking about becoming a medical doctor?

Why do you think more drugs equates to a healthier society when actual results show the opposite?

We are in a pandemic and need to be flexible. I had to finish the last 3 semesters of my MBA completely remote. Not ideal but since a big part of being a successful professional is the ability to adapt in real time it actually helped a bit.

You are taking about a useful degree. I’m not sure your comments are applicable to this discussion.

It’s called being facetious. I was being facetious you moron. Maybe OP is studying gender. I don’t know. I assumed he was in the medical field and made a callous post saying why be a doctor when people like you clearly have a bias against medicine? Idk . My dad takes blood pressure medicine and as a result he hasn’t had a stroke yet? Coincidence!?

Stress?

We all were allowed to work from home, spend time on our hobbies and leisure pursuits, and received free money from the government, and you were stressed?

Speak for yourself…

My work never stopped and I haven’t gotten a dime from the government.

I am in medicine. See my comment above.
