<p>Hi guys, I have a golden opportunity to meet with a bunch of doctors and hospital administrators. What kind of questions should I ask them. If you have questions, post them here and I'll type you guys the answers. Don't miss out!</p>
<p>You should probs post this question in the premed area…or title it differently</p>
<p>But I’m curious, if you have the guts to ask them
-are they happy with their choice of becoming a doctor?
-was becoming a doctor what they had visioned it would be like?
-what’s the pros and cons of being a doctor
-would you have chosen a different career if you had the choice?</p>
<p>Could you please message me the answers to these? <3
I’m planning on going into Biomedical Science, and I’m also trying to develop a research project for this school year to compete in science fair.
- What are some limitations of modern medical technology?
- How could a high school student pursue research in biomedical science?
- Where do they see medical technology going in the future?
- What are areas that should be emphasized in medical research? </p>
<p>@lululemonxx I was too excited to think of a title lol. And I did post it in the premed area.

<p>Do you guys want me to post it on here (it would help others), or do you want me to PM it to you guys individually? The meeting is in a couple weeks BTW.</p>
<p>@alwayssona PM each and everyone of us, is going to be a pain in the bum. I would just tag us into it. It would help others, and you don’t have to waste so much of your time trying to individually message each and everyone of us (considering others will chime in eventually).</p>
<p>@alwayssona Yeah, tagging works. </p>
<p>Sounds good everyone. Keep this thread alive. You still have a lot of time.</p>
<p>-are they happy with their choice of becoming a doctor?</p>
<pre><code> She said she was more than happy with her choice, bc she grew up in a medical family. She said that having such a strong medical environment gave her a plan for life, and she didn’t imagine herself as anything other than a doctor.
</code></pre>
<p>-was becoming a doctor what they had visioned it would be like?</p>
<pre><code> She said that at first it wasn’t as patient involved and romantic as she pictured it. A lot of paperwork is involved, but once you make it through the ranks of residency and what not is when you truly get the classic doctor experience. She said once she became an attending, she truly enjoyed the doctor experience.
</code></pre>
<p>-what’s the pros and cons of being a doctor</p>
<pre><code> She said that some of the advantages were the respect and opportunities she got. Another thing that popped out was the fact that she had the power to save a life, which completely changed her attitude.
She said that the disadvantages were the hours and stress, but the experience makes it all worth it. It doesn’t matter how long or hard you work if you truly love your job.
</code></pre>
<p>-would you have chosen a different career if you had the choice.</p>
<pre><code> She mentioned before that she didn’t think of becoming anything but a doctor.

<li><p>What are some limitations of modern medical technology?</p>
<p>I did not get a chance to ask this one! I’m so sorry!! :(</p></li>
<li><p>How could a high school student pursue research in biomedical science?</p>
<p>I actually met a doctor who was a bioengineer major in undergrad. He said he really wanted to develop new prosthetics and stuff. He said it was almost like a double major with bio and engineering. He wasn’t too sure about biomedicine.</p></li>
<li><p>Where do they see medical technology going in the future?</p>
<p>The oncologist said that technology would play a vital role in cancer diagnosis, research, and treatment. She said that there is huge potential for groundbreaking ideas to be found. Another doctor mentioned how there’s always something that can be created to treat something. He emphasized how one problem can be solved in many different ways.</p></li>
<li><p>What are areas that should be emphasized in medical research?</p>
<p>All of the doctors basically said to do what interests you. There was a doctor that did solely research for 10 years and she said all she did was work on what seemed interesting and what kept her love for medicine alive. Another doctor talked about how you should emphasize the patient’s experience over the legislative and financial implications. He also said that there’s still an “incredible amount of discoveries in every direction.”</p></li>
