Even though being a doctor can be very stressful and could drain one emotionally, it is a very rewarding career. As a doctor, one already holds a special status in society while making a great difference to the lives of many people. Ultimately, medicine is a life-changing career that will expose you to many different experiences that you will not find anywhere.
