My Steps Towards The Profession Of A Doctor
It has come to my realization that this text is the most important piece of writing that I will have to create, and I find it both exciting and intimidating that it will have every influence on whether or not I will achieve my dream of becoming a doctor. The human biology is something that has fascinated me for as long as I can remember. I always find myself asking “How does the human body function?”, “For what reason do people get sick?” and “How can we heal the illnesses?”
Due to my concern for others well-being I have made a devotion to help others in any way possible as a purpose in my life. To add on my long-time fascination with human biology I have concluded that medical school is what I desire. As far as it comes to relevant experiences I have quite a few. In the past 4 years I have been actively participating in a free health care clinic called “I care”. My young age limited how I could actually give help, something I hated at first but now I am forever grateful for at least the opportunity.
In my early years I learned that taking care of the patient is not only about giving the right medical treatments, but also about making sure the patient has the right peace of mind. Knowing you are sick and possibly can get worse is alarming for most people. This is why the people taking care of the patient needs to calm down the patient and make sure he/she knows everything is going to be alright. If you cannot genuinely take interest into the patient’s personal life than at least make it seem like it. In this way the patient will feel safe and cared for in the best way possible. Therefore, communication is key.
In the clinic I was allowed to observe and follow the nurses and doctors work. I even once was allowed to witness an operation in the hospital nearby. Something that was an eye opener for me. Questions were asked, and questions were answered which enhanced my knowledge in this profession. If we take a pause from the medical talk I can give in my other interests. Dancing for instance has a large impact on my life. I have danced since I was 4 years old and it means much more to me than just moving your body according to the music. It is a complex art that allows to express the overwhelms of my feelings and say things that no existing word could ever say. The reason why am not pursing dancing as a career is because I dance for myself. To let go of my emotions when at stressful times.
