How the Calling of a Physician Became Worthless But Remains with Dr. Abraham Nussbaum

Dr. Nussbaum explores the disenchantment that medical trainees experience during their training. He proposes reconceptualizing trainees' sense of self as grounded in humility rather than as heroes.

This man can tell a sorry, damn! Thank you for the time and attention that went into this.

The issues are: we have to work harder to get into residency, the patients are now sicker, the overburdening paper work just to get anything done, the loss of paternal medicine, the mistreatment of Medical staff, the gross underpayment of Residents, the gross litigation - now you have to specialize in 1 surgery or one area of your specialty vs back in the day General Surgeons would do spine surgery.. and finally the disgusting amount of knowledge we need to have compared to back in the day. The ''First aid'' USMLE step 1 book has increased 8x in page number over the last 10 or so years in terms of content to learn - that's a gigantic increase in base knowledge required for your average med student.
In your generation you could walk into any specialty you wanted, you could even change specialty. These days your average Neurosurgery applicant has 50+ publications.... on top of the stellar USMLE scores etc.
