Medical practitioners have the power to save lives, and that importance makes them pillars of the community. It’s so difficult to become a doctor — from the years of university to the heap of student debt — that it’s one of those professions you have to truly love, or you won’t bother with the effort of making it.The satisfaction of doing the job well is immense, and it helps that the pay and prestige are high. Few professions are as highly esteemed as doctors. Out of all the professions out there, they’re the second most trusted according to a Gallup poll. It’s certainly not a job for everyone, but it’s the perfect job for some people.
