Is actually being a doctor hardwork?!

Is actually being a doctor hardwork?

i dont mean going to medical school....i mean actually working as one......its just that everytime i go to the doctors.........it's usually a nurse.....the doctor just feels my jaws.................it seems like nurses do a lot of the work....is it true?

Yes it is. You may write orders but they are orders you write based on your experience. The nurse carries out the orders and if something goes wrong it's the physician who burns not the nurse. You have to know a lot. How much harder is it to give you a pill (something a nurse might do) than to feel your "jaws" and be able to diagnose you correctly. Day to day its constant movement from one patient to the other diagnose here and there you might have 25 patient in one day who all need a note written on them the might all need prescriptions written, perhaps even x-rays or MRI's by the time the days done your super drained.

Apart from all that you might have to hit the gym, play with the kids, take the car to get fixed, teach a class, give a talk, work on administrative paperwork, legal paperwork, read up on a new procedure, write a new procedure. Try out a new product. Study for a board, call some pharmacist, "Phew", and the list goes on and on all in one day!

So to answer your question yes being a doctor is hard but so is being a nurse. They are 2 completely different fields so there is no comparison. A nurse serves his or her purpose and a doctor serves theirs. You might have a better comparison with a PA and a MD.

Hope that helps!
