一位美国实习医生感言: 我的生活不是我自己的 (ZT)
Medical Resident…..My life is not my own
I am a emergency medecine resident…I commit all kinds of atrocities. I manage patients who present with the entire spectrum of acute illnesses from pediatrics to major penetrating trauma….under the supervision of attending physicians. Before this, I was in college.
I decided to be a doctor…I always wanted to be a doctor…I always found the intellectual aspects of medecine interesting. I chose my field based on the fact that I can go home after work….generally speaking, most fields (within medicine) mean that you have to take call (work after hours…be on call) …you’re either in the hospital or your beeper is on and people keep calling…you may have to come in in the middle of the night.
Your life isn’t really your own. I’ve been doing this for 3 years and I keep doing it because it’s too late. I owe probably like 100,000 in loans and if I quit now, there’s no way to pay back these loans…I’d have to start a career right away and I couldn’t have much chance of paying them back…..
Happy? That’s a relative comment…I like the intellectual aspects…I like knowing what I know. But the way medecine is today, the rewards are few and far between. It’s governed by money and management…the physicians are in a position to make few decisions….well…fewer decisions…it’s difficult to make patients happy..generally speaking. The only good parts of my job are that sometimes there are good patient interactions…the ability to make a difference in their lives which is the ideal that it was originally supposed to be…..
I think of quiting every day, but right now I’m a resident, so the idea is that once I’m done, my lifestyle will improve…I’ll only work 40 hours a week as opposed to the 80-120. I work right now. I’m waiting for the pot of gold at the rainbow, but unfortunately from talking to others who have completed their residency, it’s not there…plus once I finish,the liablity is all yours and you don’t even have to make an error in judgement to be put through the torture of a legal prosecution.
I think if I had to do it over again, I’d be a physical therapist…less loans…less liability…less hours and you make a decent income. I wouldn’t feel like the last 7 years of my life have been taken from me. I have several bosses that are just my attendings…who have their own agendas…I don’t really care about them either way…
In 5 years, hopefully, I’ll be an attending…I’ll have paid off my loans…I will have an opportunity to do things I’ve always wanted to do…travel….engage in recreational sports that I feel I’ve been missing out on…visit family/friends…renew interest in hobbies…and READ A BOOK THAT IS NOT MEDICAL!!!
In 30 years, I guess you know…more of the same…except I’ll have a family and kids…and be happy….I’m not that ambitious.
以下是网友们的翻译:
住院医生——我的生活不是我自己的
我是一个急诊室住院医生。各种各样残忍的事情我都得处理。在主治医生的监督管理下,我处理所有的急诊病例,从小儿内科到成人穿刺创伤。而在此之前,我只是一个大学生。
我决定要成为一名医生,这是我一直以来的愿望。我总是能够为我的临床兴趣找到合理性的解释。我选择这个专业的时候,以为下班后就可以回家。总的来说,临床上的大部分专业都意味着你要听候传唤(非工作时间,就要待传)。要么你就呆在医院,要么你就得开着传呼机。总是有事情要找你,你很可能在午夜还要往医院赶。
你的生活不属于你自己。我已经持续这样的生活3年了,而我只能继续这样下去,因为已经太迟了。我大概欠了10万块的贷款,如果现在辞职,我必须马上找到份工作,而且这很可能没有什么机会帮我还清这笔帐,那我就还不上了。
快乐?那是相对的。我喜欢医疗中合理的方面。我喜欢我从这份工作中所学会的知识。但是如今的医疗方式,酬劳寥寥,远远少于付出。医疗行业被金钱和权利所控制,医生们并没有什么做决定的权利。不能做决定,就很难让患者满意。大体说来是这样的。这份工作的唯一的好处是有的时候会遇到患者好的反映,而我有能力改善他们的生活,而这正是医学的初衷和理想。
每天我都在琢摩辞职,但是到现在我仍然是一个住院医生。我想一旦我辞职了,我的生活方式就会改善。那样我每周只需要工作40个小时而不是80-120小时。我工作着,期待到达彩虹后找到下面的那一罐金子,但不幸的是通过与其他完成住院医师阶段的同事交流,并没有那么好……不仅如此,一旦我的住院医师阶段结束,所有的责任都要自己承担,甚至你判断上出一点小错都要承受法律诉讼的折磨。
我想,如果我可以再选择一次,我会做一个理疗师,少借一点贷款,少承担一点责任,少一点工作时间,有一份体面的收入就可以了。我不会感觉到过去的七年时光就被这样从我生命中夺走。我的几个老板,也就是我的上级医师,他们有各自的安排,我再也不用太在意他们……
5年后,我希望自己能够成为一名主治医师,这样我就能还清贷款。我会有机会去做我想要做的事情,比如旅游,加入到这些我觉得我已经失去的娱乐活动中,拜访家人和朋友,重新开始我的兴趣爱好,以及读点不是医学的书!!!
30年以后,我想你也知道,差不多就这样了。我要有个家庭,有几个孩子,并快乐的生活。我要求并不高。 |
