I have a tendency to moan here too...
Teaching at what level?
As for me I am not certain 100% I want to e a clinician and I am aware it can change, I realise this and thus have some escape plans (not that they are realistic but while I know I can still run I don't have to)

You can never be certain about these things I am afraid. But what has made you becom e hesitant with being a clinician? Is it just not what you thought it would be?

We can't make your life decisions for you, not how life works I am afraid

Just saw the edit: I don't think it is ever to late to change career (well once 50 something maybe)


Hey CL, how's 3rd year treating you? Where you based?

I'm at Hammersmith doing my Endo BSc - means I'm gonna learn how to tell fat people to stop eating digestives and drinking lucozade all the goddamn time. So basically, curing diabetes.
:banghead: Argh i despise histology
Today, along with the usual 'no, I've never had blood pressure dear', I met an elderly lady who had 'never needed oxygen in my entire life'. Considered referral to research dept so all could learn from her miraculous physiology...

Those people drive me insane. I was taking a history from a patient who seemed completely with it, and did the whole "are you on any medications?" and when she went no I did the "any for high blood pressure? high cholesterol?" etc. and again, got a no.


Finish the history, look at her drug chart and she's on 3 for her bp and simvastatin :facepalm:
4 hours of pharmocokinetics in dark, hot lecture theatre = instant sleep.

Now typing up notes and wishing I had listened. :puke:

Even more frustrating when you get that exact situation (minus the drug chart check) and then present to the doctor, who then asks the patient precisely the same questions, but this time the patient responds by providing their entire drug history in a clear, concise and chronological torrent of glorious information.

Hehe! Yeah, v v annoying! (especially when the patient explains to you that those drugs are for hypertension, not high blood pressure ... *sigh*)

Although I was making the - pedantic, perhaps - point that almost everyone I've met and certainly everyone I've held a meaningful conversation with has had a blood pressure of some sort, be it high, low or comfortably between the two.

I would like to be one but I also want to do a lot of other stuff as well

But I get what you're saying, it is scary that we'll be doctors for the next 40 years, along that line there must be points where you'd feel doubtful. Maybe almost half our waking lives will be in a hospital :holmes:


yup, pretty sure we had this convo 2 years back nirav.

I've been thinking about this a lot, and basically it seems worth finishing and getting provisional GMC registration. it does feel a lot like gambling with your life though... and for what? to "save" lives ._.

see you again next year...

I think only good things can come from working with coffee. :smile:
I want to quit medicine and go to work for Anthony Nolan. :ahee: After the national Marrow AGM I am far, far more enthused about bone marrow than I am about any of the other, minor parts of my life. Like my degree.

TBH I find the process of learning embryology equally depressing.
