You're a health care professional with all that that entails. You get to work with people and genuinely improve the quality of their lives in a very tangible way. But if someone has a serious issue you refer them out, and there's nothing you ever have to deal with at 3 a.m.
That's funny. I've thought the same thing myself. My eye doctor laughs at me because I ask SO many questions when I see him (and I have a lot of eye issues). But I find it all so fascinating.
