[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a nurse, so obviously a little different than a doctor, but my experience is that the altruistic ones who get into it because they "really want to help people" are the ones who burn out the quickest. It is important for healthcare workers to care about their patients, of course, but I find that pure altruism is not a great match for the US healthcare system as we know it. The ones who get into nursing because they like science, enjoy problem solving, and like working with people have a much healthier approach to their work and last longer. [/quote] I'm also a nurse and I completely agree. Also-some doctors can be outright jerks and have big egos but be really good at what they do, especially surgeons. [/quote]
