Medicine.. Is it intelligence or hardwork?



Medicine is not bout intelligence..And if u think u shud choose medicine becos u got the district first..U r bitterly wrong..
Medicine is a field where hard work pays..more than intelligence..(In fact intelligence has very little to do with medicine)
Common sense is much more important than intelligence..
Unfortunately, intelligent people get caught in medicine and feel it's a dumb field..
There are fields in medicine where intelligence is necessary..like in molecular genetics, pathology, pharmacology, drug designing..
But people rarely ever choose those fields..(Cos there aren't many who can teach them and these subjects are available in very few centres)
It's a little weird to see toppers going for Ortho..(Which i consider has nothing to do with intelligence..it's only pure skill)..N they choose those fields only because of the money they are going to earn..
Ultimately, it's survival thats importance..Isnt it?

I completely agree with you. That fact was of the most shocking realizations when I studied medicine and that's why I like physiology so much. Medicine = 90%memory n 10% basic intelligence.
