someone on here a few days ago was saying that psychiatry is kind of looked down upon within the medical community (no idea why) and that it is a relatively low paying, low prestige speciality to go into. Anyone else know anything about this?
Psychiatry is looked down upon as a lower profession by Drs in specialty areas like anaesthetics & cardiology. Those Drs & in my experience, a lot of the nurses in those specialty areas have a god complex & often egos bigger than their brains.
