On the first appointment

one misconception that people have about me or medicine that annoys me is that we are all-knowing and infallible. This is simply not true. Doctors are human beings, and we make mistakes just like everyone else. We are also constantly learning and evolving, so our knowledge and understanding of medicine is always changing.

People think that doctors are omnipotent and can cure any disease, or that doctors are incompetent and cannot cure any disease. In fact, doctors are only human beings, and they have their own abilities and limitations. They are not gods either and they cannot violate the laws of nature. They can only do their best to provide patients with the best diagnosis and treatment based on existing medical knowledge and technology. However, medicine is not perfect, nor is it static. It is an evolving and changing science that requires constant exploration and innovation. There are currently no effective treatments for some diseases, or there are many uncertain factors. This does not mean that doctors are useless or ignorant, but it does mean that doctors need more support and encouragement, as well as more cooperation and communication. This is my view.

Tough time getting past final step: I’ve been trying to make a career shift for 10 months now and continue to get rejected at the last step. Im confident in the value I can provide and do well at presenting it. However, once it’s comes down to me and 1-2 other candidates, I repeatedly have been turned down for the person who has more relevant experience as they’re a safer bet for the employer. Would love advice from anyone who’s dealt with this before. It’s tough to get them to take a risk on me

Hi,
My current company is going out of business next week. I am rushing to get my next job lined up (probably won’t happen in time but I’m trying my best). My question is: should I be honest about why I’m looking for a new job? Is it wrong to not share this info during my interviews? Is this situation going to affect my interview process somehow? Please share your thoughts and wisdom! Thanks!

So I’m planning on leaving my position before school starts, but the application and interview process has been slow. At this point I’m afraid I won’t find a job until late July. Should I let my school now and let them post my job as an anticipated position? I’d hate for them to have to find someone last minute, but I also want to keep that school as a fall back just in case. Unfortunately, it’s a terrible position and there has not been a lot of interest in it in the past.

I’m sure others have considered this, I really feel burned out on my specific subspecialty. For the most part I do interventional pain management. I am midway through my career, but I cannot in anyway see doing this for the future, it just doesn’t feel like I’m making a difference. I’m honored to be a physician and to help a handful of people, but any suggestions on changing specialties mid life? I have perhaps 15 to 20 years yet to practice..
