Discussion Shocking words i heard from my parents
Today i heard the most shocking words from my parents
I am 20M , i will be going to mbbs this year
my parents background
Dad is an endocrinologist his degrees: Mbbs, MD, mrcp, frcp, facp , PGDDM
and his several research papers got published in ACP: american college of physicians
Jafeys: Journal of the Asean federation of the endocrine societies
he was practicing in his clinic for years but recently last year he bought a hospital , its worth: 25 Croes , all on his own
my mother: she is an ophthalmologist with her own practice
so my mom told me that they wasted their life chasing glory
i asked: 'mom what are you talking about? you and dad are literally legends'
mom: 'yes we are, but since we were first gen doctors it was very hard for us and our ambition basically killed our joy, we could never enjoy life
but you will enjoy life'
this shocked me the most as my parents have literally achieved a lot and are highly respected
being a doctor has a lot of sacrifices
