Why are fewer and fewer young people choosing to become doctors?

Megan Reed said:Honestly, that would look pretty sweet on the shelf, wouldn't it? 😬

Spot on! 👍

Megan Reed said:So, I was reading somewhere that Tom Cruise once said—back when his wife was still pregnant—that he was going to buy an ultrasound machine just so he and his lady could use it every single day. Babysitting..

I find myself wondering if they’re actually capable of doing anything at all. I guess I saw it.... 😂

It’s a top-tier service. You just buy all your medical equipment upfront, and then you don't even have to leave the house for testing. I guess it saves a lot of hassle. 🤣

It’s true; I saw it on the news and read about it in the papers too.
Basically, that was his plan all along. But in the end, they didn't pull the trigger because his buddies over at the hospital gave them a very clear reality check—apparently, it's just not healthy to deal with that kind of nonsense every single day. I guess someone's going to need an ultrasound. Kid.
Who are these people?🤣 (Kruze and his wife)

I’ve already decided he’s completely lost his marbles. Or maybe just needs a serious reality check.🤔 😁

Basically, that was his plan all along, but they didn't end up buying it because his uncles over at the hospital gave them a reality check. They told them it’s just NOT healthy to do an ultrasound on a baby every single damn day.
Who even are these people🤣 (Kruze and his wife)

Man, what do those clueless uncles know anyway???? 😲
Kruze really should have just sat down with Arslan and asked him... he would've cleared everything right up for him. 🙏

Honestly, he’s missing the entire damn factory at this point. 🤣

I mean, you definitely wouldn't want them performing an episiotomy on Kitty, right? 🙂

Susan Martin24 said:Kruze should have just had a civilized chat with Arslan... he would have cleared everything up for him perfectly fine. 🙏

Yeah, right. Arslan deserves an honorary doctorate in medicine at this rate. 😬 🙏 😍

By the way, did they end up doing an episiotomy on Kitty or not?😬

Susan Martin24 said:I guess you wouldn't want them performing an episiotomy on Kitty, then. 🙂

He’d probably just go out and do it himself.🤣

As far as I know, they won't, because their faith forbids it.😳

Megan Reed said:Yeah, seriously, Arslan definitely deserves that MD title. 😬 🙏 😍

MD? That's a massive understatement!😲

We’re talking PhD level at the very least...
honestly, if we're being real, he should probably just be called an academician. 😈

Sean Hernandez5 said:he would have just done it himself🤣

As far as I can tell, they don't because their faith strictly forbids it.😳

Even if their religion tells them they shouldn't be giving birth in a hospital, 😛
she went ahead and did it there anyway. 😁

Susan Martin24 said:They have this blind faith in the system, defending the idea that giving birth in a hospital is somehow the only way to go. 😛
So, she actually gave birth there after all. 😁

This is starting to look like a total circus.😬

I don't know if they're actually barring him from hospital care, but I am pretty sure they're blocking all kinds of medications. There was that whole massive spectacle involving Kruze and Bruce Schild, if I recall correctly.

Maybe we should move this conversation over to the poultry coop instead?😬

Honestly, we women are just total hens at heart—I bet we could take the Parthenon itself and turn it into a high-end chicken coop if we really wanted to 😂 😂 😂

Honestly, the one thing I can't stop thinking about is this: whose kid is that? 😬 😂

Megan Reed said:honestly, what I really want to know is: who exactly is this kid? 😬 😂

from Dawson🤣

Sean Hernandez5 said:from Dawson🤣

😂 😂 😂

Any idea how many doctors are actually out of work here in the States?

Arslan said:Look, please don't feed me that nonsense. If you really want to talk, explain to the rest of us what you mean by "covering for a surgeon." Let's be honest here: when one doctor slips up, there is a very high probability that another colleague will step in to cover their tracks. If you mess up in IT, you might crash a system, cause a power outage, kill the phone lines, or botch some bank statements or tax filings—which is certainly bad—but the chances of you accidentally killing someone through a coding error are slim, and it would be painfully obvious who caused the glitch, meaning management would hold them accountable.
...
Not to mention all those countless instances regarding patient care where there is zero communication, where patients are treated like cattle, or where people are kept in a hospital bed unnecessarily just so Medicare can bill for the stay; places where you wait months for an exam (unless you have a special recommendation, then you're in immediately), or where after surgery they just stitch a patient up in a hurry, thinking, "it's not like they're a supermodel, we don't have time for fine suturing." All these little acts of negligence go unpunished, yet they inflict physical damage and emotional distress. Just imagine how a person feels when they are in pain and need an exam for a diagnosis, only to be told they have to wait several months. 👎

Well, besides the fact that you're acting quite full of yourself for a doctor 😬 , I think you're comparing apples to oranges. Honestly, if everyone wrote letters to the media every single time their computer crashed, a server went down, or they encountered a software bug, there wouldn't be any room left to write about medical malpractice. The reality is that those medical errors hurt us much more deeply, and we aren't satisfied with just seeing a doctor get a stern talking-to from their supervisor before going back to work.

As for the second part of your argument, my own personal experience tells a completely different story. Over the last year, I've visited most of the major hospitals in Chicago, and I haven't encountered a single rude doctor or nurse; quite the opposite, actually, I mostly have nothing but praise for them. Emergency cases were handled urgently, usually within a few hours. We didn't bribe anyone. Granted, we did pull a few strings once to bypass a waiting list, but I don't think the facility that helped us is any more to blame than I am for asking for it. The Klaić hospital especially surprised me in a good way—they scheduled all our tests within a month (which is pretty much what the law requires anyway), we were able to do almost everything in the afternoon, and we never waited more than fifteen minutes past our appointment time. Sure, one physician shocked me with his arrogance, but should I curse all these other professionals because of him? Unfortunately, people much prefer to retell unpleasant experiences, and that is why views like yours tend to form.

Sean Hernandez5 said:I'm not sure if they're actually banning hospital access, but I know there's a whole thing about them banning pretty much every kind of medication...😬

I heard their religious leaders are out here telling them they have to eat a uterus. 🤮 🙂 🙂

It’s likely just because of how long you have to grind through school, plus there's a massive wave of bureaucracy involved in actually becoming a doctor.
