I know people who are medicated and it's their favorite subject.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Medicine's good for some people. Not for me.
I'm by no means condemning prescription medicine for mental health. I've seen it save a lot of people's lives.
I am essentially an amateur medecin, and this to me is almost a mania.
My grandmother was a psychiatrist and had shelves full of medical books - I was constantly sneaking looks at some of those. I was fascinated by the descriptions of illnesses and diseases.
I knew at university that medicine was just not for me. I saved many lives by not being a doctor!
Words can make the illness a subject I can master, and not one that one simply emotes over.
I wasn't driven into medicine by a social conscience but by rampant curiosity.
If you want to get out of medicine the fullest enjoyment, be students all your lives.
I treated as few patients as I could as a medical student, and I never practiced medicine.
I'm great at a deathbed. I've never given tranquillisers or psychiatric medicine. I've given love and fun and creativity and passion and hope, and these things ease suffering.
