Why do doctors rarely have time to socialize?

Or do doctors have their own professional social software?

Making friends outside of work is tough and does require a fair bit of effort, unfortunately. Plus to be honest, the few times I've hang out with my colleagues, all we talked about is "work" which is a gentle reminder for me that colleagues are my coworkers and that's it. I just make sure to stay friendly in the workplace and make small talk and some laughter where necessary. That's it.

Sometimes it is true that after a day's work, even if I have some free time, the things I want to talk about are about work, so there is almost no time for socializing.

Hi everyone! I am working with my HR to improve our maternity/paternity leave policy. Currently I only get 2 weeks fully paid and then an additional 8-12 weeks at 60% pay (short term disability). I need some examples of companies with less than 100 employees and what your maternity/paternity policy is. Please include company name! Thanks!!!

I went to a T14 law school, got great grades and glowing recommendations, and wrote (what I thought was) a great writing sample. But I got rejected from all 70 federal clerkships I applied to. The only thing I can think of is: I took a non traditional route after law school and did a 2 year public interest fellowship in a niche field of administrative law. The rejection gave me a lot of self hatred. I still really want to clerk. Any advice? What is wrong with me? I feel like a failure.

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’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..
