As a pediatrician, how do personal feelings come up into work?

Do you associate feelings when it comes to work? Does a patient remind you of someone you know and that affects you relationship wise? Does the environment affect how you feel? #doctor #nurse #pediatrician #healthcare #pediatrics

If I were to become an OB/GYN or a Pediatrician, would obtaining a nursing degree be appropriate? Will I have to obtain a Chemistry or Biology degree instead?

I am currently a Junior in high school; however, I am also enrolled as a Dual-Enrollment student. Currently, I am working on classes to satisfy my high school requirements and soon after, I will begin working on my classes that are needed to obtain either an Associate's Degree or a Bachelor's Degree. However, I am debating on which degree is more suitable for my particular career. #medicine #pediatrics #obstetrics #doctor #healthcare #hospital-and-health-care

What career should I choose? Police or Doctor?

I LOVE forensic science, I love investigating, analyzing fingerprints etc. but at the same time I want to be a doctor which is pediatrician. My mom doesn't want me to be a police because its dangerous I keep on telling her I'll be fine. I could risk my life on things that are worth saving. I also love to be a doctor because I want to help children and give smiles to them. I ask some of my family members and they said it is possible to be a police then doctor. Or doctor then police .. is that true? I'm a freshman anyway. #doctor #pediatrics #forensic #computer-forensics
