(1,388 posts)"Sciencey medical stuff" is what we have been trained in, and it is difficult not to impart what knowledge we have. I applaud to for going on to being a PA. By the time I had done all me "trying to find myself" I was 30 years old and had no talents or training to bring anything to the table to start a meaningful relationship. I won't say I wasted a lot of years, because I had a lot of experiences, but by the time I became an RN, it was time to settle in and make a life. I did go to pre-med when I first started, but was so disillusioned by the other pre-med candidates that I decided on what I thought was a better route.
As to this thread, obesity as a subject is about as taboo as talking religion or politics. But I can't seem to stop trying to be an educator. I will keep fighting the fight.
And I am with you.
