Medicine is a life long commitment to learning. The learning process that the physician goes through is for humanistic purposes and our calling is to tend to the ill and the most vulnerable around us.

In my third year of medicine school at Ross University on November 2008, I was intrigued by a class on open heart surgery of a patient suffering from myocardial infarction. The video documented of each step and explained the logic behind each incision of a heart vessel. This was intriguing to me as what attracted me was the mechanics of the cardiology system. It was like a complex wire system in a machine and an electrician was exploring each wire to find fault; except this time the electrician was a cardiologist. This was even better as the cardiologist was striving to also make sure that ...

Many aspects of my life, personal experiences, and accomplishments have contributed to who I am. All have made me proud of whom I have become.

I began practicing Kendo when I was ten-years-old. Initially, I hated it.

Through my friends enrolled in medical programs, and my parent’s friends, I have learned that medicine is a lifelong commitment to learning. Instead of going out to the party, evenings are spent revising material in order to benefit the future patients. Thus, in order to succeed at medical training there are several qualities that students must possess, namely: devotion, determination, and endurance. However, learning from books is not all it takes to be a good practitioner, and many years of experience are necessary until one actually becomes a master healer. The maladies of the patient have many nuances, and only a skillful ...

The modern era has seen a shortage of healthcare professionals; and pharmacology is one of the means that healthcare can be delivered to a broad ...

I was born and raised in what is nowadays referred to as the traditional family set up. This is a set up where family values were strongly emphasized. Among other things, I was taught, right from my formative years, that the family is a central unit in the development of any person.

I have further extended them in all my interactions. I regard whichever group I associate or work with as part ...

I believe that the nursing profession is one of the noblest professions in the world. Indeed, this can even be traced back to its pioneers such as Florence Nightingale who concerned themselves with looking after those who were injured during the war. Like any other person, they could have chosen to sit on the fence and avoid doing anything. On the contrary, they immersed themselves in the war, not to fight, but to look after those injured during the war. This was irrespective of which side they belonged to. The care that Florence Nightingale and other pioneers provided to ...

Too feeble to move, too scared to ask questions and too confused with the hustle around him, the patient seems lost and a desperate resignation darkens his expression.

I am happy to see that I can make a difference in people’s lives by infusing them a positive attitude, through nursing practice.

My passion for medicine was developed through the hope of a young girl. “Put on the scrubs,” the Psychiatrist told me as we entered the sterile hospital room of a sixteen-year old girl. I stood next to the doctor as she talked to the girl, a girl whose face and body were so completely wrapped in gauze it would have been difficult for her to cry. “Will my skin go back to normal?” she asked. The physician answered honestly, “I do not know for sure, even though the flesh-eating bacteria that deprived you of your skin is gone, it could leave scarring--but ...
