Misery sure does love company

I love family medicine.

It changed my life. I considered other specialties and sometimes I wish I had gone into x other specialty but overall I like what I do.

Why does it seem that people just love to shit on it so much. Other physicians on here with a the world is burning down attitude about it.

Look at all the wonderful things happening all around us. We’re able to treat people in better and more interesting ways.

We have obesity medicine really becoming prominent in the world.

But whenever something positive is posted on here, the goons come out to play. They ridicule and downvote and go scorched earth on any positivity or post cherry picked pieces of information to support their world view that their job sucks.

How will we as a collective ever improve and foster a better future for ourselves? This attitude is why the private practices died off.

We never fought for ours when other specialties keep fighting for theirs.

Oh god forbid someone actually happy in as a doctor? Let me downvote them to oblivion or attack their character.

I for one choose not to be that way. I love my job.
