Many of my friends who are not related to medicine in any way or connected, but, so to speak, pioneers in their field (there were no doctors in the family), often reproached me, let’s say, that they say “your mother is a doctor , your grandmother is a doctor" .. After listening to all this, I wanted to dispel or confirm the myths about the medical family!
It's cool when you are sick, there are only specialists around you, everyone cares!
Cool, of course it is, but I will immediately note that doctors have emotions – the case is controlled, because of course you feel sorry for your child, and so on. etc., well, now let's take a look at the situation in fact (I give an example on a cold):
- Rapid inspection completed.
- What is there to listen to, and so everything is audible.
- Temperature?! Nothing, until 39.0 will be tolerated, the body itself must fight!
- Rhinitis – drops. It will not pass in a couple of days, we will warm it with salt.
- Everything. But no, still for the throat a pshikalka and drink plenty of liquid.
- That's it now. I'll dial from work.
At the same time, the main thing for everyone is to agree with the child that you give him three days for illness, no more. Hosh, not hosh, but on Monday to school.
Pity, of course, you will not wait, because if they start to feel sorry for you – it makes sense for you to get sick.
Links, there are always the right links
This is probably the biggest plus! If you, God forbid, get sick with something – there is always uncle Volodya, a surgeon, aunt Lena, an ophthalmologist, Natalya Stepanovna, a hematologist, and so on. You will never go to the polyclinic to make an appointment, and not because the polyclinics are bad, but because how could it be without blat?!
Just so mere mortals go? No… This is not done in a medical family.
The number of acquaintances is huge, grateful patients are always ready to help, but it’s just inconvenient to contact ... Although there is a way out in any emergency!
Parents who are doctors understand children much better
Of course they understand children! And also, they are strong in psychology and psychiatry, they know when you have hormonal changes (transitional age) and, of course, they know when you are healthy (figures you skip school or at least one extra class)!!!
As you understand, it is senseless to enter into images and demand one's own through hysteria – you were quickly diagnosed and stopped paying attention. Shout, don't shout – everything is clear with you.. Well, of course, you're not an idiot, stop screaming and start thinking.
At this moment, the beginnings of the future doctor are being created! You start looking for ways to achieve your goal, and after much thought, you find it. (Just because they are still parents. And in fact, no one has “scored” you, they simply do not respond to your manipulations).
You know exactly who you want to be
Yes, yes! From childhood, listening to all sorts of stories about working moments at dinner, or, especially a lot of stories on the main holiday, the Day of the Medical Worker, willy-nilly, you begin to relate to many stressful situations more calmly.
At the age of 11, I decided that I wanted to be a veterinarian, and at 14 I already entered the medical lyceum and then the medical institute.
But here a new phase begins: you will be the "Luminary of Science", you must not let your family down! And especially if you are with a well-known surname – success and good luck in our university!
Doctors – not people, well, or not quite people
Get together in an emergency and make decisions – easily! Take necessary action – we know we can practice. Stress resistance on the verge of fantasy.
Convenient, you can always cure your own
Indeed, you know everything and you can, well, or at least you have an idea and at least approximately understand what to do. But, to be honest, it’s not very pleasant to treat your own .. Either you can’t turn off emotions and do what you need, or you still turn them off, treat them like any other patient, and they are offended ..
Doctors – separate diaspora
If you still managed to become a doctor – you're in a gang! People outside the gang for you, frankly, narrow-minded or little understanding. Doctors are a separate religion, I would say. Yes, you recognize the existence of God in its various manifestations, but at the same time you are absolutely calm about death and talk about it (which, as it turned out, not many people can .. strange!).
Talk about severe cases in practice – with pleasure, to disassemble the strange situation – always ready, black humor – wrap two!
True, psychology is changing, changing a lot, but this only helps to understand the path of life.
For example, you see an aggressive person. He gets angry, screams at you, and in your head you already suspect that he has a diagnosis of professional burnout or obsessive-compulsive syndrome ... And, you won’t believe it, life becomes easier, patients, as you know, are not offended. The person is not healthy – why be offended?!
About myself, I would like to add that living in a medical family is incredibly cool! You are a person, because it is impossible to grow up with a rag in such a rhythm of life.
You know what to do in any situation, and if you don't know – you just do. The subconscious, together with intuition, has already calculated everything and knows that it will be good, and if they are not sure, then at least they can guess!
And what is most important – You have tremendous support and mutual assistance. You are not alone, which not everyone can boast of!
