Quote by Benjamin Carson

I first wanted to be a psychiatrist. I decided against that in medical school when I discovered that psychiatrists didn't, in reality, do what they did on TV.

I first wanted to be a psychiatrist. I decided against that

Summary

This quote reflects a personal experience and realization about the field of psychiatry. Initially interested in pursuing a career as a psychiatrist, the individual's perception of the profession was influenced by portrayals in popular media. However, during their time in medical school, they discovered a stark contrast between the glamorous portrayals and the real-life work of psychiatrists. This realization led them to change their career aspirations, potentially due to the disconnect between their previous expectations and the actual responsibilities of professionals in the field.
