First of all the education by itself is very long and time consuming. We are talking about 4 years of college, 4 years of medical school and additionally ,depending on the specialty that a person chooses another 3-7 years of residency.And if a person decided to do a fellowship then we are talking about another 3 years. Plus at this time the salary comes to be less than the minimum wage
Second of all is the pure cost of it. The cost of education is really high ,and it does not matter what school you will attend,well at least thats my own opinion but in addition to whatever college debt is gathered , the average graduate of a medical school if looking at approximately another $ 120.000 of debt , and thats a lot and what if a person decided that being a doc. is not something they wanna do ? That person just wasted a lot of time of their life , not speaking about money i mean thats a huge bill to pay off .
Third reason is the lifestyle. It is difficult during medical school and residency. Expect lots of time studying, late nights on call. Some people might even go through a divorce due to the stress that it puts on the marriage. Also residency training is not a ideal time to start a family so often people face the choice of either postponing that and thus being on the older side or trying to start a family in the midst of other huge demands for your time.And speaking of it. Lifestyle will also greatly depend on what kind of medicine you decide to practice, where you decide to practice, and to what kind of clientele will you have . If you decide to be a doctor in an inner-city clinic you may not make very much. If you are a plastic surgeon to the rich and famous in Beverly Hills, you will be a millionaire.Most doctors can expect their home life to be disrupted by work. Again, however, how much will all decide on what type of medicine you practice and where. If you work at a hospital doing emergency surgeries you will have to work many holidays, and you will often get home hours and hours after you are scheduled to get off. If, however you have a private practice, you might have to take some time to see some patients that are in the hospital on the holidays, but it might take 2-3 hours out of your day, at most. No matter what field of medicine you go into, however, you will not see your family much while you go through medical school, and especially while you do your residency.
And last but not least the factor of malpractice.Unfortunately, we live in a very litigious society. 2/3 of all doctors will get sued at least once in his/her career. Depending on your specialty, it may even be higher. It's an unfortunate reality that despite your best efforts, this can still happen to you. Few other professions have such a high risk for liability.the pros are that you get to help people get better and help their families to gain confidence and to still carry hope, or to just make people better, the cons are diagnosing a patient with a disease that slowly destroys their body or that will affect them and their family, for instance, alzheimers disease.

it doesnt seem like three paragraphs u go from one idea to another u need to space ur ideas out:
main things are malpractice, money and family/time.. i get it but look into the fact that u mentioned something good... if ur saying that there are disadvantages then u want to focus on only tht dnt go on to the plastic surgeon.. u can include a conclusion where u can state a few benefits..
and u need to introduce the profession
thorn berry.
