Persuade people to learn medicine and strike thunder? No, medicine is for those who have no chance
During the college entrance examination last year, there was a hot news that among the thirty-six champions in mainland China, no one chose to study medicine, while all six champions in Hong Kong chose to study medicine. This has caused a lot of discussion on the Internet, because doctors are a profession that saves lives and heals wounds. Out of consideration for their own health, everyone naturally hopes that there are better people who can study medicine. But why don't the champions in mainland China study medicine?
Because medicine is a typical profession with a high lower limit and a very low upper limit, unless there is no chance at all, the more excellent people go to study medicine, the more disadvantage they will suffer. Under the same conditions, studying medicine is not a better one. choose. This is determined by the characteristics of medicine itself. Medicine requires high investment, but the return ratio of output is very low. The return brought by studying medicine in the short term is far less than that of the family and oneself.
There is a big gap between excellent people studying medicine and studying other majors
Among the author's former students, two were admitted to Qingbei, one chose to major in computer science at Tsinghua University, and the other chose to major in clinical medicine at Peking University. It seems that the choices of the two are similar. The clinical medicine of Peking University and the computer of Tsinghua University are both The top three majors in the country, plus the blessing of Qingbei's halo, from the starting point, the two are on the same platform. However, after graduating from university, there is a gap. The students who graduated from Tsinghua Computer may have gone to Huawei and received an annual salary of more than 400,000 yuan, while the student of clinical medicine at Peking University is still doing odd jobs in the affiliated hospital of Peking University. , Not only does he have no salary every month, but he also has to pay the hospital.
Both of them were equally good students, and they were on a par with each other in high school back then. After graduation, the choices are similar, but after four years of college, there is still a big difference between them. The classmate of medicine at Peking University, his graduation is still far away. He must finish his undergraduate, master's and doctoral degree and traineeship. It has been more than ten years, and for a long time after graduation, even if he goes to After going to the top three hospitals, it is foreseeable that he will not have too high income (compared with computer science).
Studying medicine does not give full play to the talents of excellent people
I have to say that after so many years of teaching, I have to admit the existence of talent, and I have to admit the huge difference between students. For excellent people, studying medicine is a bit of a waste of their talent. Excellent students can do more things, because medicine, like education, has a lot of repetitive work.
In the hospital, the most common diseases that doctors encounter are common diseases. The emergence of antibiotics has allowed doctors to save countless people. What top talents should do is to develop "antibiotics". A doctor can only save one person at a time, and the development of antibiotics can save thousands of people.
Studying medicine is a huge opportunity for ordinary students
Because the return ratio is too low, and there are not many opportunities to tell the truth in medicine, more doctors are still struggling with their qualifications. It is the same kind of work, and this principle can also be used to "why excellent people don't become teachers". But for students with little opportunity, studying medicine is a good choice. Comparing Qingbei and Huawu students, studying medicine is a poor choice. But taking a long-term view, for ordinary 211 university students, as well as ordinary undergraduate students, it is a good choice for them to study medicine. If they choose to study medicine, they can often get along better than students who choose other majors.
When filling out the application form in previous years, many teachers did not recommend medicine to their students, and many people even said that they "persuade people to learn medicine and make a thunderbolt". But for students who don't have many opportunities and choices, studying medicine is the best choice. At the beginning, they work hard for a few years, and after graduation, they can have a decent job that is enough to support themselves and have a good social status. .
If the exam is not as good as I expected, and I don't know how to fill in the application, then I can completely take medicine as my first consideration. The national conditions of our country have determined that there will always be a shortage of doctors, and medical students do not need to worry about finding a job after graduation. For the majority of ordinary students, their studies are not good enough, their family cannot provide them with more support after graduation, and they have no chance, so they choose to study medicine.
There are always very few super-excellent people, and there are also relatively few people at home who can give them great support. Whether studying medicine is hard or tiring is just a small question. Why didn't the champion go to study medicine? Because they have more options. Why do ordinary people want to study medicine? Because medicine is a better choice for them, and the same goes for the education industry.
