text: what is it really like to be a doctor? i am a current college student who is thinking about a career as a doctor. i would like to know about some general experiences that doctors face. hi! i am presently a medico on my way to become a doctor. hope this helps. when u hav a goal of becoming a good doctor remember, that a dedicated doctor doesnot have a life of his own. all the pains u take in the process of becoming 1 is all worth just to have the job satisfaction & the respect in the society. people consider u next to god. what else would u want. personally i consider the doctor's job next to a soldier's job in nobility. well about the experiences u hav to bear a lot of odour while dissecting the preserved bodies, blood in surgeries & autopsies. all becomes secondary to the respect & love gained at the end of the race.
