sergel 3,567 Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 Or a med student? And what challenges might be hardest for you? I'm talking about a doctor in the medical or healthcare field, from physicians, surgeons, dentists, psychiatrists, etc. Working in a hospital now, it's something I wondered about. People have romanticized dating doctors, but I wonder if I could. Personally I think I could if I really loved them, but it'd be a struggle. It'd be great to be with someone who is doing something amazing and helping people. On the flip side, their schedule, never seeing them, the loneliness, etc. would be hard. I think one of the hardest parts is knowing that even though they love you, you will never be their priority in life. Their patients and work come first all the time, it's part of the job. Not being able to be together for days like Christmas, New Year's, birthdays and anniversaries would be difficult too, particularly when they are working 60-80 hour work weeks. Few vacations or dinners together. On the plus side, you have lots of freedom and don't have the risk of someone super clingy if that's what you don't like. To paint a picture of what their schedule might be like: -Generally 4 years of undergraduate work while meeting pre-reqs to get into Medical school. -4 years of med school, with the 3rd introducing some residential duties -Graduation, now they are a doctor. Most start working as an intern/resident in a program they have to apply to. -Residency. This is where they begin earning some money, but working the long work hours. Can be anywhere from 3-7 years long. -Fellowship. This is for more sub-specialties. Kind of like a residency for specialization. Can be any amount of years really. So you're looking at generally 8 years after high school before they become an actual doctor and start working, but another, in the least, 3 years of super long work hours.Also doctors may be on call. Some for 2-4 days, where they may just eat, sleep, and bathe in the hospital. Anyway, what are your thoughts? Could you, and what would be some of the biggest challenges for you?

sergel 3,567 Posted July 22, 2013 Author Share Posted July 22, 2013 it's less demanding than dating someone in the military, with the same job security. im dating a future doctor now oooh you are? How's it working out? Good luck together btw there's enough people who can overlook all that for money Hmm yup I know people like that. Though doctors tend to have a lot of debt. Well I'm aiming to go to medical school myself, so I think I'd want to preferably go after someone that could understand my schedule. I've known doctors who go by this idea as well. They two might not see each other a lot, but both are very understanding of their respective careers, so it works out well. Plus, they plan on spending time together when they're older.
