Boy this is fun to read, I worked at Pfizer right out of college, four years later, fell in love with and married one of the doctors I used to call on. She inherited her practice from her Dad who was a GP in the area for awhile. Make the long story short, she convinced me to go to med school, which I did in Venezuala, before you laugh, I spent four years there encountering patients you would never see in the US, making a difference. After that I got accepted to a residency program at stony brook university hospital, anyon familiar with that knows it's one of the top ten med schools in the country, I am now finishing my fellowship in Rheumatology in North Carolina,and by the way, I have next week off, so the first time n about two years I am pretty drunk, my buddy from pfizer told me to check this board out, anyway, not to digress, I was offered a position on staff at a teching institution in NY after I finish my fellowship, anyone that knows anything about NY probably knows what hospital that is...salary? 160,000 dollars plus expenses, after three years I will be an adjunct professor making close to four hundred...the moral? The money is not much better, especially considering the 280k I have in education bills. But, I will trying to make peoples lives better, while you and your rd come to my office and try to make me write something. I only feel the need to write this because I was a former rep. everything you think doctors think about you? multiply the negative by ten, and you dms and rms, you are only worse. I ask you all to look at your lives and take a chance and try som.ething else, yeah, I know I lucked out, I married the chick, but I am 34 know and I am just starting my life. I hope that helps to inspire someone and I did not waste anyones time
