Bell Curve
Bell Curve
Four years of undergrad, four years of med school, and you're about to begin your residency at a top hospital with a great program in endocrinology, when you discover your OCD has made it impossible for you to enter the place without running to the bathroom ten million times to wash the germs off your hands. You're fired before your health insurance even has a chance to kick in.
You're slammed, paying your dues in a residency program where the pay is barely enough to cover your student loan minimums and your rent. No worries though, a few more years of eating boxed mac and cheese won't kill you.
You work hard at an outpatient clinic in a poor area of a small town. In fact, you're the only endocrinologist within miles. That's okay, your busy days are exciting and you’re constantly learning. You'll use all that knowledge to become the best endocrinologist around. Then you can move.
You have your own office in a posh suburb where you are the go to doctor when it comes to anyone needing an endocrinologist. Your schedule is booked out for the next year and you're so busy you're not taking any new patients. You love your job and your patients. You make a ton of dough and enjoy a posh lifestyle.
After working as a top endocrinologist for 20 years, you've been dubbed "Endocrinologist to the Stars." In fact, one of your famous patients decides to produce a TV show, starring you, in which you talk about how everyone can better their glandular and hormonal health. It's a hit and you replace Dr. Oz and Dr. Phil as the new go-to TV personality for medical advice.
