I never knew how many of my friends wanted to be a doctor, or how much they want to be one.
But how is being a doctor more prestigious or glamorous than a scientist or a researcher?
People entrusted their lives to doctors, but the world entrusted the future to scientists.
We always believed that one day, cure for cancer, AIDS etc will be possible, yet all these aren’t carried out by doctors.
Cures, medicine, therapies, all these are the work of scientists and researchers.
Doctors are merely technicians that carries out the invention of scientists.
So, how glamorous can this occupation be?
They may save lives at the frontline but without scientists at the back, what can they do?
