Goodbye Many years ago when I graduated from finance, I thought just like you, thinking money would bring me happiness and success. It was a naive and immature thought. Money can’t buy you everything. I hope you find your way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Told him I wanted med to give back to my community who desperately needs FM physicians and he told me it was a waste of time and that I should go into consulting because $$$$.

Just.The.Wife Posted October 19, 2018 Report Share Posted October 19, 2018 Just wanted to point out that in order to "choose money over medicine", one would have to be accepted into medical school first. You can't truly choose between two options if you are only offered one option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowmen Posted October 20, 2018 Report Share Posted October 20, 2018 Are you actually that proud of yourself or are you instead seeking people who will tell you how proud they are of your "best application of all time" (that still didn't get you an acceptance)? BTW, people (especially older patients) aren't healthier than ever. Rather, medicine has progressed so much that it can now compensate for most illnesses and make it look like people are aging with a better health. Take away your average old person's pumps and pills and you'll see that they aren't very healthy after all. I think medicine still has a very bright future ahead. But you must know better with your superficial analysis of the whole situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for sharing, canucks_14, good luck! Honestly there is probably nothing we can do. I would put my money on this guy having a personality disorder of some sort (likely narcissistic based on all his clear delusions of grandeur) and you really can't treat a personality disorder in the same sense you can treat depression. You can try to make them aware of their behaviours/actions and how it might affect others, and social norms or whatever, but ultimately at the core there is no treatment for personality disorders. Or maybe this was just the most elaborate 7 year trolling plan ever conceived lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yes, I also know about PDs and what we can/not do. I’m a senior resident in psychiatry. But, thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aconitase Posted October 21, 2018 Report Share Posted October 21, 2018 Maybe it’s just sour grapes about not getting a med offer and trying to convince himself that it’s a good thing her never went into med. which it probably is for both sides. He will make far more money in finance and the public will get a far more compassionate person as their doctor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pakoon Posted October 21, 2018 Report Share Posted October 21, 2018 Honestly, it's probably for the best to just let this thread die. It might become an echo chamber for like-minded people which is the last thing I wanna see lol. I wish OP the best and am grateful they weren't one of the people who manage to slip through the cracks and gained acceptance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeuroD Posted October 24, 2018 Report Share Posted October 24, 2018 I think we should take it easy on this guy/let this die. I had a patient today that was eerily similar. Really felt for him, and then remembered this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arztin Posted October 24, 2018 Report Share Posted October 24, 2018 This thread is getting nowhere. I find it a bit too inflammatory. Therefore, I will lock it. Good luck in your future endeavors canuck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmorelan Posted October 24, 2018 Report Share Posted October 24, 2018 sounds fair - it is important to have other perspectives floating around - obviously we can be really med focused here and that is not a bad thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
