It's harder work than I could have ever imagined. I work days at a time and routinely take 9 or 10 exams over the course of a couple days. It's a very rewarding profession, though, and no, I don't mean monetarily. It's intellectually and emotionally stimulating and I know it was what I was born to do.

I wish that more people realized the personal and financial sacrifices that doctors have to make. It's hardly the Bentley-driving, mansion-living lifestyle so many people seem to imagine. All the negativity directed our way gets a little old.
