Work crisis

Am I cut out for this?

How do these psychos keep getting up at 5 something in the morning to get to their jobs? Do they really love it that much? I certainly don't. There isn't a lot I get up that early for, and after I graduate I certainly don't expect work to be one of those things.

I'm sure I'm not the only one who feels this way. Maybe everyone else denies that they're not sure. Maybe they don't talk about it out loud. Maybe it's embarrassing to admit that maybe after all the money, time, education and jumped hoops, medicine was the wrong choice.

Maybe everybody else is sure of what they're doing.

I'm just not that interested in these things. Other people seem to be excited when they talk about new meta analyses or how interesting they find SKIN or LUNGS or CANCER. I certainly don't feel the same passion about anything I've learned so far.

So maybe I'm weird. No, I'm definitely not weird. THEY'RE weird. Maybe I'm just not the right kind of weird to be a doctor.

Maybe I'm too normal for this job.
