During the job shadow, I was very satisfied with how doctors did things. I liked how doctors can communicate well and can understand their patients. Doctors also make a very sufficient salary in order to live comfortablymy favorite part of the shadow was being in the exam room with patients. You get to see what they are going through and figure out a way to help them. My least favorite part was the fact that when you have seen a patient you must fill out information on the check-up. You must do this for every patient you see, and often times you see several patients a day. ​ Not everyone is suited to be a doctor. To be a doctor you must be helpful, smart, caring, and empathetic. If you are not respectful to your patient, or if you can't relate to your patient, you will begin to lose patients and their trust. Doctors must get up early and sometimes work long hours. Doctors are on-call at least once a week so they must be ready to help a patient at anytime while on-call. Doctors are also away from their families and children for long periods of time, which is another thing doctors must endure. Doctors work in office buildings and hospitals, so they must be willing to work in that type of work environment.
