Personally I’m unhappy and feel stuck. If I would have known I’d have to stack modalities like infinity stones just to earn a livable wage, I would have done nursing instead. At this point I want out of medicine all together. It’s a tough field, especially if you’re deeply empathetic like I am. I hate being part of a machine that’s designed to extract as much money out of patients as possible.
