<p>I’ll chime in because the whole “I’m a doctor but I really don’t want to be” was something I witnessed first hand with my husband, who also told me of others who went down the same path. Generally speaking, doctors who strongly dislike their job become druggies. It happened big time with my husband (he has since passed away due to his drug issues), and it happens with others. Please don’t go down this road unless you are a people person committed to listening to problems and have a dedicated desire to help others. Some are cut from the cloth that can do this well and happily. Others, like my husband, are not, but feel compelled to stay in this profession to pay off student loans.</p>
