Man, I cannot take my work home with me. Some students can’t stop talking about medicine on holidays- they live and breathe it. I on the other hand completely switch off. Pretty happy to bury my head in the sand right now. I don’t look at people and wonder about their illnesses.
I hope my unwillingness to embrace the business “outside of hours” doesn’t limit me. Surely it won’t?

Well said. As heartless as it sounds, medicine for me will eventually become just a job… I don’t like taking work home with me and I hate it when I’m in a group of med students and all they talk about is medicine. I just want to cover my ears and say ‘LALALALALA’. Some may think that I don’t have the passion for medicine; for me, I just don’t want to be one dimensional. I have other interests than medicine and my life does not need to revolve around medicine…
