Being a doctor is one of the most admirable professions. Of course, most people do not enter the medical field in hopes of being seen as a hero. Instead, they want to help people as best as they can. Unfortunately, many doctors face unimaginable stress on the job, which is often difficult to shake.
You may have had dreams of helping patients and feeling a sense of accomplishment and pride when you were able to help someone overcome an illness or injury. Still, you did not have any ill-conceived ideas that you could save everyone or that you would always know what to do. Even with a realistic view, you may not have imagined just how burdensome your job could become.
