also just voicing a random thought i had since yesterday after a phone call w a coworker but. I wish people treated working in medicine less like a lifestyle and more as a...job?

Like, yes, studying medicine and then working in the field takes up a LOT of your time, life, effort etc. But...it's still a job. I still clock in and clock out, I'm allowed sick days like anyone else, and at the end of the day when I go home, I do other things with my life and enjoy other hobbies. Being a doctor shouldn't immediately mean you live and breathe for your work and love it more than anything. It's a job!!! And the stigma around medical professionals expressing just that is kind of baffling to me. A doctor doesn't have to be on 'doctor mode' 24/7, just as an idk, a teacher, doesn't have to be on 'teacher mode' outside of work. Just. food for thought

#i remember reading an article bout a doc who was on a flight and was asked to help someone w a medical emergency #and the doc was on vacation and had a lot to drink and said no bc he wasnt sober #and people on that post were just. dissing the doctor for drinking??? like the man was off duty!!#at the end of the day this is our profession NOT our lives.#do i enjoy helping people? yes! do i like my job? yes!#that doesnt negate that it tires me out a lot and i have a life seperate from my job.#anyway this was Soph's Rant of the Day #burrito talks #not fandom related #delete later
