<p>I’ll be honest…I believe that if you can be happy with a rather minimal interaction with others, then being a physician is probably not the ideal profession for you. It’s just SO different. In a cubicle job of any sort, you’re spending all you time dealing with individuals who are at some minimal required sophistication towards your field. The interactions are with PEERS. Medicine (either as PA or physician) is very much not in that vein. You’re dealing with other physicians, nurses, pharmacists, techs, patients and their families…I’m a pediatrician so that includes kids…it goes without saying that 4 year olds are an entirely different sort (they are they craziest age without a doubt). If I didn’t love talking with people of all sorts people, my job would be miserable.</p>
