I love watching medical shows on T.V. Is that what it’s really like to work in health care?
A. Not exactly. Television and movies can make any profession look more glamorous than it really is. The media also tends to focus on just a few health careers, like doctors and nurses, which is misleading. There are actually more than 100 different health careers. Also, most health professionals spend less time on the job talking about their romantic interests and more time actually helping patients.
