re: I’m 46 and I just applied to med school

I would not do this, but to each his own.

Medicine is not what it was 30 years ago when I graduated from med school.

Doctors don’t really have control of anything. So many levels of approval.

“You can’t do this as an inpatient, you can’t do this as an outpatient.”

“Patient has to have their labs done at Labcorp.”

“That drug is not on insurance formulary.”

“Our approved procedure list does not include that indication.”

And on and on.

The “electronic medical record” is basically a reverse tool. It really helps you get less accomplished in a longer amount of time.

I’m well paid, but I look forward to retiring soon.
