Patients

PGY2 here in a surg specialty. I came into medicine thinking I loved patient contact and surgery. Both of those dwindled during rotations, and even more in residency. Outright bored of being in the OR now, and not just the really uninteresting stuff like hip, but everything else too. I still love patient contact, my issue is with the patients themselves. Most of the patients are one of the following: alcoholics, rude, excessively overweight etc. I don't have anything against those traits... Patients
