The most difficult profession?

[cofi]

i dont know i cant stand doctors

edit did you read baileys post it had nothing to do with killing anyone
also if anything i think our nurses/hospic workers have it way rougher as they are constantly dealing with the patient rather then the doctor who spends like 5 miniuts a day talking at them

Yes. I did. But I believe taking a life is the ultimate difficulty for a human being.

I would also nominate EMT's/Paramedics. Regardless of how much they may or may not enjoy it (depends on which one you talk to), it's got to be hard constantly being under that much stress, for criminally-low pay. The average EMT makes less than the average retail worker in a mall kiosk. God bless 'em for doing it anyway.

I am sure watching anybody suffer would be difficult. Although, I have a surgeon in the family and they get use to it. Listening to them, it is more like a puzzle…something to solve.

I think any job where one puts himself in harm’s way is by far the most difficult. Human instinct is one of survival. In order to put yourself into harm’s way, one must defy that instinct. I can say I truly respect these people. I don’t necessarily respect those in the medical profession as a matter of course.

I also think of the guys that stormed the beaches at Normandy…talk about hell on earth. I can’t imagine. So many guys through history have come back shells of what they once were. Sacrificing your life and killing is by far the most difficult thing asked of any person.

Agreed. EMT's should make more. Especially when you see an ambulance bill.
