The Darwinian Doctor

Daniel Shin of the Darwinian Doctor is talking about an important topic that I think is not talked about quite enough. He is going to give us the 9 WORST reasons to become a doctor. Without further ado:

  2. Family pressure;
  3. Status;
  4. The glamor of medicine;

  7. The love of science;
  8. Because you're smart; and
  9. Career longevity.

For each point, he goes into detail about why that's not a good reason!
