Would you encourage your children to practice medicine in today's world? I see a lot of folks talking about how it's one of the only future-proof professions left, but unless it's really what they wanted, I wouldn't push mine to do it knowing what it's like these days.

I completely disagree with anyone doing medicine for any reason other than passion, so I would not push my children in that direction. They would have to convince me.

No, I wouldn't. Unless, as you said, it's what they want to do. The world is changing for sure, and there are plenty of things they can pursue that they'll probably find more fulfilling.

No I wouldn’t. It’s all about exposure to career options early, knowing the pros and cons and consequences of their choices. Unfortunately some of us have differences in privilege to be certain whether choosing Medicine is the right career choice.

I wouldn’t encourage them but wouldn’t discourage them if they have their heart set on it. I would discuss the pros and cons and if they go, definitely encourage them to pursue a specialty and not do primary care, which is moving more and more to the APP model. There will be always be a need for physicians until the robots take over everything. Even then, the Enterprise had a medical officer! But if they want to go into it “for the money” agree there are easier paths to financial success.

Going through a rough patch, mental-health wise. I have always been a high performer and dont back down from challenges. But this past month something feels off in my head and I have 0% motivation for anything at the moment. Brief run down: work-stress, meeting expectations, fear of failure, imposter-syndrome, negative self-image (probably from all the time I spend on IG… might need therapy. 🥲
I don’t know what went wrong, but I don’t think I’m the only one to have felt this. Sorry for the sads!

This is a privileged problem and I know it’s minuscule to compared to the actual struggles of so many people in the US and abroad. Just wondering if anyone has felt this as well and if so, how do you get rid of that self hatred?
