..."Why? Because at least it be something"<br /><br />Bro, I know this sounds like terrible advice, but if you're going into medicine because of that, then you'll be better off doing something else.<br /><br />Better yet--come to Chile, or Argentina!

The big companies send reps who essentially bribe doctors into prescribing their drugs rather than a competitor's offering. <br /><br />When the patent expires, and generics appear the company will slightly change the composition to get a new patent (and bypass all testing stages since its a minor change) then the circle begins again with Dr's being "asked" to prescribe said "new" drug.Dan Dordoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02460267558829253161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4346407507063525769.post-26407238807214485242011-09-01T12:41:38.054-07:002011-09-01T12:41:38.054-07:00Most jobs a doctor does can be done by machines.Most jobs a doctor does can be done by machines.Berserculeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00980762819283689198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4346407507063525769.post-71229185500126709232011-09-01T11:54:10.632-07:002011-09-01T11:54:10.632-07:00As far as I know, it takes 6 years of Med school t...As far as I know, it takes 6 years of Med school to become a general practitioner and the following years depend on the specialization you choose. As for the fees, isn't medical school a state university? I mean, where I live, you can get in for free if you pass a chemistry + anatomy exam and you're one of the first 60 with highest grades. And you can do it all for free if you do your best and get all your exams, practice hours, attend classes and everything. But I assume different continents, different rules. <br />Like others said, if you like medicine, you should go for it. It's not going to be easy - you'll spend your entire life studying, some teachers, doctors and patients will treat you like crap, you have to cope with death, etc. But there there will be the satisfaction of having your dream job, which is also well paid and you can find a place to work like anytime - so I guess that's more important.<br />Good luck, I hope you will get accepted)escapisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07320906297430776116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4346407507063525769.post-39248484367097411662011-09-01T11:21:41.957-07:002011-09-01T11:21:41.957-07:00Don't do it if you don't want to.
