I am answering this question from the perspective of a patient who spent over a year with various doctors, who were all part of the same team. They were the most concerned, upbeat, respectful and wonderful people. I never felt that they were miserable- they really seemed to love their profession. I was always amazed at how well they listened and sympathized. The one I really connected with would talk about his research, his family, vacations and once told me this was what he was meant to do.
Let your daughter follow her heart here - she could really change lives. My experience really made to see the medical profession in a new light.
