Why do so many people dream of becoming a medical professionalmedical professional? After all, any job in that field is difficult, and usually requires studying hard for many years, taking a lot of difficult exams, and working long hours. Of course, in many countries, a doctor or a nurse might have a high salary, but there are many young people who study medicine in countries where doctors earn very little too. That’s why I don’t think people decide to do it for money. I suppose you decide to study medicine when you really want to help other people and make them feel better. If you are a paramedicparamedic, a surgeonsurgeon, a GP or even an ambulanceambulance driver, you can save people’s lives every day. You become a real‑life superhero and it can make you feel invincibleinvincible. And don’t even get me started on a caregivercaregiver, especially one who works in a hospicehospice! This job is really emotionally and physically demandingdemanding.
So, with all the medical professions, there might be days when you are just not able to help, but it is the effort that counts. Trust me, I’m a professional myself, so I know what I’m talking about. If you are seriously thinking of studying medicine so that you can work in a clinicclinic, the emergency roomemergency room in a hospitalhospital or at a chemist’schemist’s one day, please read my advice below.
