Medicine World, am I ready for it

My regular attachment at the hospital was an eye-opener to the intriguing world of medicine. Shadowing several doctors on their rounds and attending their consultation sessions got me used to seeing sick people and common ailments.

They do their own jobs individually and independently, but when come to troubles, they team up, divide jobs, guide their staffs and settled problems together, that triggers me to joint to this elite team soon. Giving a warmed hug, grasped a cold sweating hand and whispered, “Good girl, you can do” to a young mother through her first normal delivery seems just a little to me at first. However, when the mother really appreciated the small deed made me realize that a doctor’s duty not only to prescribed medicine but also has the healing words and touch.

The sight of a baby delivered through normal and Caesarean section birth was an exhilarating encounter, which triggered my expectations of more learning experience to come. I watched the ultrasound scan that gave the inexpressible thrill to a newly-wed couple which pregnancy was confirmed and even the depression of a mom whose pregnancy ended in miscarriage. Observing several post-mortems including a doctor who perform a suicide actualize that life as a doctor has its own thick and thin that made me to become strong and be prepared. I had the privilege to observed ward dressing and seeing circumcisions being performed on young Muslim boys. I was very attached to a little boy, an abused victim, asked me to paint words “I love u” on his surgical glove balloon while I was painting the murals.

He reminds me of how fortunate I am to be born in a happy family. Assisting medical assistants and nurses with first aid routines enabled me gain hands-on experience of treating out-patients. Coupled with this, it gave me a sense of camaraderie with the doctors, medical assistants and the nurses at the hospitals.

Realizing that medicine is fully physically and mentally demanding makes me eager to learn and pursue knowledge to contribute to the community. It would be rather idealism if I were to say my only desire is to save as many souls as possible. A doctor may save lives but more importantly, I hope to touch lives through my selfless deeds and abide by the Hippocratic Oath. I believe that medicine can give me a wide opportunity to help towards the progression of society towards better living standards.
