Doctor, why?
January 18, 2011
The thought of having a person’s life in my hands makes me feel like I am the most important person in the world and the look of the patient’s face when he/she is fully recovered is priceless. To heal people is what aspires me to become a doctor. To be able to stand front line in times of danger and saves countless lives is very noble and it will be super awesome to be able to be that person.
On the other hand, the thought of having a human being’s life in my hands scares the shit out of me. What if the patient dies in my hands? Does that make me a murderer? Will I be able to step out of that guilt? I don’t know.
But what I do know is that I am going to do whatever it takes to save the patient’s life because only then I can tell his/her family that I have done everything I could.
I am inspired to become a doctor ever since I’ve watched this Hong Kong Medical Drama called “妙手人心” when I was a kid.
It has always been my dream and it will always be my dream.
XOXO.
