Imagine you have 7 minutes for a patient, and off to the next one. Imagine 90-95% of your work time is spent in front of computer, filling in forms for every patient coming in, getting any treatment or leaving hospital. Each one takes 60-90 minutes (no kidding). My fiancee's daily/nightly routine, every single day, in biggest hospital in Switzerland.

Our romantic views on what it is to be a doctor are long gone, unless you go with orgs like MSF to ie Africa. Reality is, most of doctor's work these days is pure bureaucracy (maybe apart from surgeons). Any job that gets into this 'corporate work' state will have any positive energy drained out of it.

Do you know any doctors personally? Most of them end up pretty disappointed bitter with their work right after school - those rosy expectations meet reality. In fact, in our circle of friends where there are many young doctors, there is 0 happy with their work.

Yeah, I know. That's pretty much what I said.
