What's with Medicine
Yay... I'm gonna blabber blabber again! It's so annoying. When I was in highschool, all those 'smart' people (or those that think they are) wanted to be a doctor. And next to them was those that wanted to be admired too, will want to be a doctor (doesnt matter if they were in Arts stream, saying you wanna do 'medicine' was the 'in' thing). Sure I was also comparable in brain size with 'top students' but I wasnt going to say I wanna do 'medicine' to be 'cool'.
Puh-lease, seeing blood and disease is just gross to me. (can you imagine touching someone with std and then going home and touching your love ones? Gross... so what if you wear a glove? ewww)
And what's with everyone in Malaysia being stereotype that if you sons or daughters were doing medicine, they were the 'smart' kids or the 'admirable, soon-to-be high social status kids' ... these days you just see doctors popping up like mushrooms in Penang just like opening one kopitiam, two kopitiam, three kopitiam....
Hoho... dont think I'm jealous etc. If I wanted to get into medicine, I can. I have the grades to qualify me to medical school in KL (and if I wanted to, I wasnt gonna do it in Australia and spend nearly half a million ringgit to be a normal doctor).
Let's face it, some medical student (especially those from backward slidding economies that still places high value on them) have a sense of pride and arrogance because people actually admire them for doing medicine and line up their daughters to marry them?(what is wrong with some parents? tsk tsk) and the ones that gain 'respect' for no reason except for their vocation, doesnt matter if they havent treat you yet, as long as they are a doctor, they 'save' lives. (let's face it, it's mostly medicine made by chemist, researcher, technology that saves lifes and the surgeon's hands. The doctor tells you whats wrong, just prescribe you something, give you some advice like how many times to take and then you pay him for it) Duh! Simple.
So please....dont crap to me how woahhhh medical students are especially girls that oh so dovey dovey to marry a medical student. (I've seen a skinny-beautiful-girl marry an ugly-money grabbing doctor... what made you sell yourself so low?)
Some people places too much emphasis, value and respect to these people more than they deserve it.
Doing medicine for the right reason is noble. However, dont let that get into your head.
