To be or not to be a doctor?

DD said today that she’s been in thinking about becoming a doctor. Not sure what area, not sure what kind, just said it out of the blue today. I mean she’s doing well in her sciences. But quite honestly, the doctors I know, GP and hospital doctors, and a surgeon always say how stressed they are, how much pressure hospitals are under, how hard medical school is….etc. not necessarily for my DD but what do you think? With all that we know about the NHS right now, what’s your take on becoming a doctor?

Good morning. We've had some reports that a large number of posts on this thread are verging into personal attack territory. Please do try to keep within our Talk Guidelines to keep the thread on topic. Thanks.

Hello, we are getting a number of reports about this thread so we'd like to remind you that Mumsnet is here to make parents' lives easier.

While we encourage healthy and robust discussion, we hope that everyone can respect each other in their choices and express their views without resorting to personal attacks.

We have removed some PAs already and we would like this to stop now. After all, parenting is hard enough without facing judgement and criticism for those choices.

Peace and love everyone.
