a very grim post, i guess

 I'll start by saying, I have very little respect for doctors in general.

Yes, I grew up with the same ideals, that the key to happiness is by being successful, and everything will fall into place.

What do I want to be when I grow up?
"I want to be a doctor." I find myself answer one day.
And I didn't even know why.


Over the years as I grew up, my respect of doctors just slowly diminished.

They are arrogant.

They are insincere.

They are materialistic.

They cheat and lie and sleep around.
(maybe this is a social norm now??)

Just so full of themselves, they think they're god!


The video is saying exactly what it is now of doctors. He is a good example, or what he was a year ago, of what doctors are like.


I don't think the video was tryna improve his image or anything. He was an ass, probably. But he's a changed man, and I respect him for his honesty and how he wants to change the society and system in Singapore with what little time and power he has left. But will doctors learn from this video? Yes, probably for about 5minutes. A day, a week, a month, or maybe a year.

But no, they will be selfish eventually.
There is no hope for this career.

I have no respect for doctors, no matter how rich and famous they are.
I am sure there are good ones that do, but they never made it to the news.

Respect is not a right, but has to be earned.
And honestly, I never want to have a doctor-friend.

Yes doctors have a power.
Of having medical knowledge and skills.
But they lack a lot more.
And that's just how it is.

Everyone lack something.
Maybe the question is why are we always so unfulfilled?
And not how do we fill the holes in our hearts and desires.
no pun intended.


We are dying slowly with each day.
Yet as we are dying, we are also living.
But are we really LIVING?



Okay I still do want to be a doctor.. but not the kind that gets involved with drugs or surgeries.
