They're also so creative and I love using imagination and play during their care. I have a separate degree in theatre and "play" myself so that aspect always appealed to me. In my experience, there are WAY more easy-going parents than not. And I really love the relationship that I form with the family as a whole.

I worked on a pediatric Hem-Onc unit and noticed what you noticed. For the younger children, their short attention spans helped them cope. Within a few days of finishing up chemo-with me standing next to them with a bucket-they'd smile when I came into their room. Until about six or so, they didn't seem dwell on "what I have might kill me." Only the present mattered. If that was good they were happy. Only when they sensed from adults that all our treatments had failed did they become fearful, often terribly so since they little understood death. Older than about six or seven, the possibility of dying did seem to haunt their minds and they became less easy going. Later when I worked with teens who had cancers they seemed to go into shock after their diagnosis. Their minds were becoming more future oriented. Learning that they had cancer put that future in doubt.

As an ER doc (in practice for 38 years) I can say that I (somewhat) agree with you. If I had to do it over again and (and chose medicine) I would probably have gone into radiology.

But, in reality, if I had a chance to do it over again I would not even have chosen medicine. Would have been much happier in electrical engineering or some other STEM field.

IME Medicine is filled with impatient, arrogant, narcissistic people with God complexes. Doctors don’t even trust other doctors. They don’t listen to the patient who lived with the condition 50 years, the doctor who treated that patient for 10 years... Doctors are always telling patients how every body/system is completely unique and medicine isn’t an exact science. We’ll be a lot better off when they start practicing what they preach. And by the way, I’m in a legal field and tell people with very valid cases not to bother because even when all evidence points to malpractice the doctor still gets off about 50% of the time. Not worth the mental anguish and attorney expense. Easier to just keep letting doctors mistreat us and pray the next person is better. Also, please retire. Now. If you approach every patient with these preconceived notions, you aren’t going to listen with an open mind, and shouldn’t be in medicine anymore. Patients shouldn’t be made to suffer because you chose the wrong career.

@@ItsAsparageese Since I’m the only one here who has experienced my... er... experiences and the ratio of bad doctors/treatment I’ve had, I’m the only one who can speak to how bad it’s been FOR ME. I’ve been through hell, and only because doctors who only knew me for five minutes wouldn’t listen to me or doctors who have known me well for over a decade. I commented because even if the comment stays on his or her mind long enough to treat one patient without going in with preconceived notions, it’s worthwhile IMO. Preempting that you know it happens when people have rare conditions means nothing. Everyone knows it happens, but does nothing about it. When my “real” doctors are at the point of venting to me about other doctors and telling me that someone on their team should have retired years ago, it’s a bigger problem than most. After two exceptionally bad years of it, I only go to one hospital (three others closer), and we call one of my doctors on his personal cell phone on the way. He calls ahead, but often gets so much push back that he comes into the hospital and puts me on his service. What kind of ego does someone have to have to insist to a long time, very highly revered doctor that he knows what the patient needs more than someone who’s spent probably 100 hours with her? Also, I’m going to assume that you know that doctors (teachers, police, etc.) are supposed to meet a higher standard because of the trust and vulnerability people are forced to accord them. This person is clearly treating people with this much burnout and negativity about them. That’s a much bigger problem, IMO, than a random on KZbin taking offense to it. ETA I used the same exact words “full of” and the OP said him/herself that they should have gone into Engineering or something else besides medicine, “would have been much happier”.

I'm just discovering your channel, so I'm a newbie. I'm a Pediatric Gastroenterologist. I understand your feelings about not being able to speak with the patient directly from birth up until 5-6 years old. But from about 7-18 is not so bad. I agree working with parents is part of the hardest things about peds. One specific patient experience really caught my interest, and it was from that moment on that I decided to persue Pediatric gastroenterology. I was doing a peds ER rotation and a 4 year old boy had swallowed a tree frog. It was my job, along with one other colleague to collect the specimen. We were both shocked to see that the frog came out fully in tact. 🤣

I can confirm about pets. I'm doing my thesis in child psychiatry and I've experienced that too. though in child psych, it can be the kids that are difficult so it's a bit different. In terms of seeing kids in pain, it does hurt a lot but I see it as more rewarding to see a child recover from an illness. I love seeing a teen go from depressed and suicidal to smiling, happy, talking about going out with friends, having future goals. It makes it all worth it.

Adolescent/Child Psych done for a bit but it often felt like I had to deal with 3 patients: the kid (saw kid/especially if a teen, alone often to indicate that I respected their privacy, individ-uality), then the parents (alone or on phone- - if divorced & with joint custody, got complicated), then I would see the family together as a unit, as separate entity/patient. Not necessarily in this order. This worked for me & I think for these families/patient, but this screwed up the scheduling of course, which ended up with me catching the fallout. ER Psych. (w/Consultation-Liaison Psych in med-surg ER or med-surg inpt.) more my style. I never did have patience for psychobabble.

Retired RN here, spent the last 14 years of my career in dermatology. I get so irritated with people who think it's a cakewalk. Patients will ignore their HgbA1c of 12, but freak out about a new itchy red spot on their skin. And then there was the anti-vaxxer mom who wanted her daughter started on Accutane TODAY. Have you researched the Accutane side effects, sweetie? Much scarier than any vaccine. Our HMO expected our docs to see a crazy number of patients every day. 10-20 minutes to room the patient, take a history, examine, do a biopsy or 2, educate the patient & out the door. Experienced dermatologists can spot a funky mole in under 5 minutes. But people think it should take 20 minutes per exam. And, steroids? How about the new biologics (at $5000+ per shot)?

Good luck and have fun! Be aware, though, of the problems with "in-house" specialties: Your livelihood depends on the Corporate decisions made by your Hospital. Hospital sold? Replace all the in-house specialties. New CEO? Replace all the in-house specialties. Hospital not doing well financially? Replace all the in-house specialties. Hospital has poor reputation in the community? Replace all the in-house specialties. Etc. I was at one Hospital for 9 years. There were 5 owners and 8 CEO's during that time. I left about 2 years before the Hospital closed forever. Of course you will have geographic restrictions in your contract so if your group loses their contract, you will have to move at least 50 miles. Also, depending on your contract, say you have a quality of care complaint from an ass-hole surgeon or patient. You may not have a hearing right at the Medical Executive Committee. You may have to depend on the fairness of the Chairman of your department. Is he an asshole too?

Unfortunately, even with preventative medication and an intrathecal pump, I require a bigger boost of pain medication about once a year. They always ALWAYS act like I’m a drug seeker, when 5 minutes in my records would prove otherwise. If they give me 2mg of IV Dilaudid and then one more mg in about 3 hours, I can usually take it from there at home. They won’t most of the time, though, even when I explain how that always ends up, so then once again they miss a critical window and I’m an inpatient for five days getting a mg every three hours. Listen to the patient and believe the notes and it’s a $4000 ER visit and 3mg pain medication. Treat her like a seeker and it’s a $30000 inpatient visit and 40mg of drugs.

If I were going into nursing specifically (being an actual MD is too much work for me, personally), I think I'd do well in ICU or ER nursing. I kinda like the chaos because it keeps things interesting. I think I'd prefer working in the ICU over the ER because there are less patients to tend to up in ICU. It's a little more controlled because there are a very limited number of beds available at any given time and I would enjoy helping people that are in critical need of care because I think most of those patients REALLY appreciate everything you do for them. I mean, I've had several stays in the ICU and I always deeply appreciated how hard all of the ICU staff worked to take care of me, as well as all the small things they did for me, like getting me more water, or a sandwich if I was really hungry during the middle of the night, and getting me warm blankets. I think the most annoying thing about working in the ICU though, would be having to listen to elderly patients with Alzheimers or Dementia yelling out nonsense or for things the nurses have already just done for them. It's really hard to sleep in the ICU when you have these elderly people yelling at all times of day.

I think it's pretty universally agreed upon that psychiatriatry is the least prestigious, if not outright mocked specialty. I'd feel a lot safer with a podiatrist around as opposed to a shrink in the event of an actual medical emergency.

@@wiremotherclothmother I see ortho bros (phrase used affectionately, as I relate hard to them) mocked a lot more than psychiatrists, although they do tend to take teasing better than most in other fields so that might help it be more prevalent. That's just my personal exposure though, and it's certainly skewed by my tendency to perk my ears up at mention of ortho bros because I get tickled about relating to the jokes, so I'm surely exposed to more of those themes and retain more memories about them. But seriously, if the medical emergency in question is pharmacological or endocrine (as many are), you're (generally, probably) a lot better off with a psychiatrist in the vicinity than a podiatrist. How about not treating it like there's any actual need to rank specialties, since there really isn't? Seems like a very crabs-in-a-bucket way to even bother framing things. There are brilliant and incompetent people in every specialty.

I am a Pediatrician of 22 years now. Love every minute of it. Cant think of doing any other sub-specialty than Peds. It is the challenge of finding out what is wrong with them being non-verbal. Thank for the shout out.

I'm a third-year med student and recently did a peds rotation. While it was a great learning opportunity and my preceptors were amazing, I know now that I definitely don't want to be a pediatrician. I didn't mind so much that our patients often couldn't verbalize what was wrong with them, but I have a hard time on rotations where patients don't have autonomy. (Inpatient psych was another rotation I struggled with for the same reason.)

When I was a medical intern I tried to find time to make occasional trips to the pediatrics dept. where there was a rocking chair. There I sat and rocked crying babies. When I was the chief medical resident at one of the leading teaching hospitals in the country, I still found time to do the same thing about once a month. But I would never want to be a pediatrician. Dealing with serious illness, death and dying of children takes a severe emotional toll among physicians. Am sure I couldn't handle that. Adults only for me.

Endocrinology is one of the most underestimated specialties. It is one of the most important in maintaining homeostasis. What's your take on it?

As someone who recently had a detached retina and has been seeing retina doctors at a major Philadelphia hospital for the last few months for aftercare, it takes a special kind of person to be a retina doctor. No matter what time of day, a routine appointment lasts at least 2 hours. These doctors, and their staff, never stop all day. Kudos to them!

In nursing school when I was doing my clinical rotations and when I worked as a float/pool tech, by far my least favorite specialty was neuro. There were two general groups of patients: (1) super difficult to work with (combative, confused, extreme labile moods, etc) or (2) incredibly kind but unable to express themselves clearly or left with deficits from whatever brought them in which was depressing to be around all the time. I hated it because of that and all of the incontinence. I have seen and smelled so much poop. So. Much. Poop.

I used to go to the ER at Brooklyn's Coney Island Hospital on Weekend evenings to watch the chaos, bleeding, screaming and other drama.
