I think the suggestion of CNA/EMT/hospice isn’t that it tells you what it’s like to be a physician (it does not). But to dispel the notion that every baby is adorable and cooing; every dying person is 95 years old surrounded by loved ones saying “grandma, it’s ok to let go”; every homeless person is just waiting for someone to prescribe the right dosage of insulin so they can transform into the clean and well kept and vivacious professional they used to be.
HS kids have very skewed views of medicine!
