About my being philosophical...well, people do often say that I come off very matured for my age. And I am a person who likes to express her opinions and philosophies so to speak, regardless of whether others will like it or not. About my interest, I've had my share of doubts before. Many echoed your views about how difficult the job will be (I've spoken to several doctors), and I've thought long and hard about it. But after following an attachment stint at HKL, I know this is what I want to do. That is where I want to be.<BR/> However, I disagree that you must be a mechanical robot devoid of feelings when treating your patients. Although it could boil down to that especially after a long day of work, that sort of attitude is last thing that is needed in doctors. Patients not only want your professional expertise, but oftentime, they also seek assurance and comfort. Because not all patients survive their diseases, whatever it may be. That was what I was told during my attachment and I saw for myself several patients who rather be talked to like a friend than treated coldly by their doctors. If it were you, as the patient, would you want to be treated coldly and without feeling by your doctor? Although, again, this may sound very idealistic, it is a good ideal to work towards. <BR/>Anyway, thanks for your wishes and reminders. I too hope that this path I've chosen is the one for me and God will guide me along the way...:)Nadira Nordinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08429653112799965327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7999012540694649559.post-63154584213353232872009-04-05T01:28:00.000+08:002009-04-05T01:28:00.000+08:00i wish u well nadira.just one question?u r 2 philo...i wish u well nadira.just one question?u r 2 philosophical 4 ur age.r u really interested or is it someone else's wish.be forewarned,this is the job not for the sake to please anybody,it is taxing,burdensome and swallowing ur whole life into it.there is no halfbaked passionate inthis job.patients do not expect u to be melancholically philosophical towards them.all they need is the sincerest noblest expression of a human,helping the suffering ones mechanically minus the feeling.i hope u deserve it without denying others who deserve more than u.may god fulfil ur wish,aaminAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
