I'm a med student and honestly, I don't know why I expected anything different. I went in thinking I'd be doing real shit — treating patients, running experiments, doing experimental surgery, actually learning with my hands. Instead I get theory, endless theory, and maybe I get to touch one patient every few weeks while a resident watches me like I'm about to detonate a bomb.Everything is paperwork, liability, and "you can't do that." The fear of a lawsuit means the default is to park students in a corner and let them watch. You used to be able to actually run an outpatient clinic as a student, or at least work in the ER. Now it's a "challenge" because one wrong move and someone's lawyer is on your ass.Same shit in surgery. Before, students actually did stuff in the OR. Now? Good luck. And don't even get me started on technique training — we used to practice on dogs, now getting a single pig just to do a splenectomy is a bureaucratic nightmare. Moral and legal concerns, sure, I get it, but at some point you have to ask: are we training doctors or professional observers?And here's the part that really gets me. I originally wanted to do chemistry or chemical engineering just for the pleasure of learning how to synthesize molecules. I picked medicine because I thought I could do that with medicine — treat people, prescribe easily, actually improve their lives, assist in surgeries, even imagined medicine and nursing students working together. Instead it's just sitting in class watching lectures. No synthesis, no hands-on. Just slides.Science is dead
>>17091848being a doctor is larp and they never get sued
>>17091848Bro I like an em dash as much as the next guy, but if you use phrases like "And here's the part that really gets me." we're going to know immediately that you posted AI slop. What's your excuse?
