Medicine and people considering it (1 Viewer)

[yummy-cookies]

Just curious, but what's the big deal about medicine? i know so many people who want to do medicine and i've always wondered what was so attractive about this career path.

Why do so many people want to do it?

i guess so, but it amazes me that so many people want it. so do you think, it's as much for the status as for actual interest in the subject?

Don't forget the reputation, but I'm also considering it just to help out society.

Do something practical.

Become a physicist.

We devised all your doctors instruments anyway.

Universe creates abstract principles and abstract laws and generates random concepts from nothingness.

Scientists deduce theories from abstract calculations and abstract observations and other abstract theories.

Engineers use abstract theories to design tangible products.

Machines and tradies build these said tangible products.

Regular products use said products.
