this is what i have to look forward to, and i love it. can someone tell me how long it takes, including college and medical school, it takes to become an intern in internal medicine?

[medavid16]

4 years High School, 4 years college, 4 years medical school ==> IM intern ==> 3 years ==> IM Attending

but no mention of the grossly huge salaries that greedy money hungry doctors get....?

[medavid16]

lol

it's common people believe doctors are wealthy. Not all doctors are. Unless you're a plastic surgeon, cardiologist, gastroenterologist, etc.... trust me. there's no money. the hours you work are comparable to other respectable fields.

oh i like the video and you are a doctor and i hope a good one i have a doubt and i hope you answer are you on the video??? if my sentence do not make sense is it beacause i do not speak english that much and i think is great to be a doctor cuz you doctors are heroes :3

[medavid16]

English is good, don't worry =)

I am not in the video.

doctors not only save lives and heal the sick, but they make a massive contribution to the economy. Without doctors, the medical system that every western nation relies on breaks down. They get paid so well because they trained so hard and so long, and because they fulfill such important roles.

Even though i obviously knew, it'sso cool to see that they really do wear the scrubs you see on, well, scrubs, grey's anatomy, er:p

I loved that show. Anyone know where to find the old episodes?

@themoz3 u don't become a doctor cause of the "grossly huger salaries" xD... one becomes a doctor because He/she likes/loves to help people and take care of other people.... stop being so... yeh... jerk... sorry.. :/

So what your trying to say is that if you are per say a cardiac surgeon, you are wealthy. Just asking a question

Here's a tip : throw away your watch.

If internal medicine is what you aspire to, work your way to medical school first, then learn all you can in preclinic. Be curious, analytic, disciplined.

If time is an issue, medecine can be very depressing.

Good luck!
