Question: do you enjoy helping people

It does give you a nice warm fuzzy glow doesn’t it? We’re social creatures, we want to feel useful and make a positive difference. Many people in many different jobs (beyond healthcare) want to get that feeling- combining that sense of compassion for others and the stimulating interest of human biology and psychology make a career in medicine so popular, and observing the effects of this over time with continuity makes a career as a GP the best!
