Despite sometimes suffering great
criticism, the medical professional still stands among one of the top
professions that you could possibly aspire too.
You can help people and make a
difference in the lives of others. You may relieve suffering of those in dire
circumstances.
Medical Doctors are among some of
the most highly educated people in our society.
At the same time, be sure to
approach medical training without blind belief. I believe the profession
has been held back by its own dogma. Peer review boards and rigid protocols may
serve the purpose to protect patients but they also can ignore perfectly good,
less costly treatments that may have less side effects and be easier to
implement.
Think about everything in school
and don't be afraid to think about might what work beyond what you are told does
or doesn't work. This is good advice for any form of education or body of
thought.
Here is a list of medical schools
and medical school related resources that might be helpful to you. Bookmark this
page, tell others about it and if you have something useful to add to it - send
