I have a friend who is a triple Aquarius who wants to be a primary care physician.

She's landed an interview for a top med school and will likely be well on her way.

She's obviously quite bright but knowing her personally.....this is scary af.

If she said I want to be a surgeon....a little less bad...but a primary care doctor is troublesome since she lacks empathy.

I shared a video of someone overdosing with her which was met with disdain both for me who was sharing the video with her for pedagogical purposes but also I felt there was disdain for the people in the video ( the one Oding and the one administering naloxone)

She'll fit in perfectly with the current crop of millennial surgeons. 👍🏼

They're all terrible with their bedside manner. 😅

yeah but she doesn't want to be one though....

well my hope is that she is now just saying she wants to be a primary care physician because she knows its what med schools want to hear

(because there is a national shortage and this trend of current physicians not going into primary care even with the shortage and the fact that it's the easiest to get into)

Hm. My pcp is an aqua and she is honestly one of the best docs I've ever had. We have a lot of good talks and she listens. No clue on her placements. I think an aqua could play it off well. Dunno about a triple lol. That's a lot.

I honestly couldn't give you the worst. All i see is the people in my work place which is dominated by Scorpio surgeons. Not the best bed side manner but the best at what they do in the nation. I'm sure that's a regular occurance with surgeons everywhere lol.

i was also going to share i have another friend who is an aqua who was premed ( not anymore because of premed culture/victim of beeing wed out ) and would have been terrific as a PCP

but that also has to do with her other placements and the fact that she has gone through some stuff

( grew up in foster care , former addict mom died of cancer at a young age etc*)

There is going to be a shortage of primary care physicians to the point where pharmacists will begin to take the lead role in the future.

Of course, since she's probably chasing the money, being a primary care physician is a terrible idea.

i think more likely it will be nurse practitioners

and physician assistants doing the work of PCP as what it is now

but just on a massive scale.....

a pharmacist wouldn't be qualified in the same way.

You'd be surprised, at a local pharmacy school here in the city, they've already begun preparations for turning pharmacist into pcps. It'll actually be a part of the degree because the shortage will be that bad.

i think that has more to do with the fact that pharmacists can't find jobs after they graduate...... and any pre health / possible pre pharm student capable of using google knows this.......

so this school and more like it are pressured to get creative in how they attract people to their programs

PAs and Nurse practitioners have more care /less drug intervention training and are cheaper so i highly doubt that there will be a massive shift to people with pharmDs assuming those roles.

hospitals want to increase profits.

conversely, I do believe that PharmD grads will have more of a role in cannabis-related industry roles at hospitals, biotech companies or research labs and dispensaries.

also i think they will also be utilized more so in drug admin/analyst roles at some of the previous places of work that i just mentioned

Older age customer just told me today how is her husband was treated by group of ‘kids’ doctors and how grateful she is to the group.

You people just need to stop shitting over issues you know nothing about.

In 20 years even the youngest baby boomers will be needing doctors out the ass. And then Generation X will be close on their heels.

We will eventually see which way this goes. I'm pretty sure however, the healthcare field will not be the same in roughly 12 years anyway.

Not be the same as what?

I bet wooden teeth were a hit at one day!

I really thought about this, if I didn’t want a certain sign to be caring for me while I’m sick, and I have to say sag would be the least comforting to me in that scenario. Not that I wouldn’t trust them, they’re just not an empathetic sign to me.

The Ted Bundy’s of the zodiac.

They’re the only sign I think I wouldn’t want to be looking after me tbh.

Mm. Yes. At the office I go to, NPs often are in the PCP roll. And on the teams in my unit, the NPs save my ass from bothering the attending lol

Idk but my cousin is a LVN and I would NOT trust her being my nurse. She does some shady shit she tells me about. She’s a double cancer with a mars in Aries. Her Capricorn mother is a RN and she’s worse than my cousin. Ended up in jail cause of some shady shit she did involving a nursing home.

overrtime i feels that you see things and they bother you at first, but you keep seeing it over and over through the rest of your career. it sounds bad to say but some doctors/nurses are used to it, although they have empathy
