Another alarming statistic is that every year, the qualifications and standards for gaining entrance into medical schools are increasing. So many incoming freshmen declare themselves biology majors with aspirations to gain entrance into medical school in four years. I am one of these people. I must admit, I have idolized the medical profession ever since my first tour of a hospital. I have always thought that it would be the best job.
Doctors help people through their talent, love of medicine and genuine concern for others.
As a boy, I noticed that doctors drove nice cars, lived in large houses and were generally happy. Let s face it, Dr. Burns and the rest of the doctors on Melrose s Place have a pretty good life. I increasingly began to desire that respect, security, and happiness. Medical school was the way. Over the past few years, I have overheard several conversations my father has had with colleagues concerning general conversation about medicine.
