On the outside, people might think they know what it's like to work in the medical field, but I'm sure there's sooo much that happens behind the scenes that only the professionals know.
So, doctors, nurses, and other medical professionals, we want to hear from you. What are the shocking "realities" of your job that no one talks about?
Maybe you're a surgeon, and there are SO many misconceptions that TV shows and movies just portray your work as heroic or glamorous — but you can go into how much teamwork, preparation, and complexity is involved when it comes to a procedure.
Perhaps you're a nurse and come across people who dismiss your role, thinking you're just in the "background" when you're highly trained and provide crucial care to patients all the time.
Maybe you work in a doctor's office, and things can be wayyy more chaotic than people think — and you can share secrets like why medical providers might run late and what's actually happening that patients don't know.
Or perhaps there are unique challenges you face every day that people don't often think about, like dealing with patient deaths or complicated cases.
