@dr.matthew.parker: 5 things my parents said when I told them I was going into Psychiatry: 1) Why? 2) Are you sure? 3) What about Oncology or EM? 4) Did you have to go to medical school for that? 5) Does this still make you a real doctor? Everyone, in some way, does have an innate desire to want the support from their parents and guardians. As the years have progressed, my parents have started to come around, but one thing I have realized is that your parents can still be proud of you without fully understanding your choices. What specialty or career got roasted most by your family? #MentalHealth #anxiety #psychiatry #depression #doctorlife
