Two, you hate hard work. Becoming a doctor is less about intelligence and more about work ethic. You will spend much of your twenties and early thirties studying and grinding out long shifts in the hospital. If you’re not willing to put in the time and effort, you’ll quickly burn out.
Three, you don’t enjoy working with people. Although there are a few specialties that have limited contact with patients, nearly all will require you to at least regularly communicate with your colleagues. If you don’t enjoy interacting with other people, medicine probably isn’t a good fit.
Four, you don’t enjoy being a leader. As a doctor, it’s up to you to guide the healthcare team. Although leadership skills can be developed, if you don’t enjoy that level of responsibility then you’re not going to enjoy being a doctor.
