Why I'm Not an MD

I type about patient's all day long. I can often times predict exactly what the doctor is going to say to them and what meds they are going to give them. I know the doses for children and adults and how often to take them. Predictability. It's all in general practice.

Take this scenario with Patient A:

Subjective: Patient A comes in with mother who complains of runny nose, cough, and left ear pain for the past three days.

Diagnosis/Plan: Left ear infection and URI. Prescription for Augmentin and OTC decongestants.

Or perhaps this scenario with Patient X:

Subjective: Middle-aged man coming in for complaints of severe anxiety and heart palpitatons. He daily drinks 20-30 cups of coffee (not decaf) because he likes the feel of the cup in this hand.

Diagnosis/Plan: REALLY?? Do you really have to waste your time coming to the doctor to understand why you are having heart palpitations and severe anxiety? I don't have the time for this.

And this is probably why I'm not a doctor. I don't think I'm lacking the drive for medical school or the ability to learn the ins and outs of being an MD. I lack the tact and understanding of people in the public who don't possess the common sense that is apparently not that common.
