Recommended: the importance of patient assessment

For me, choosing to study medicine as a lifelong career is not an easy decision. Through rounds and rounds of researching and considerations, my heart leads me to choose this path. My extreme fascination and utmost interest in Science prompt me to take the three Science subjects and Mathematics for A-level subject combination. My intellectual curiosity works well with my interest which helps me to achieve good grades in these three science subjects. To quench my desire to learn new things as well as to assess my knowledge in Science, especially in chemistry, I have participated in the National Chemistry Quiz Malaysia (K3M) for two years. This experience fully benefits me as it helps to reveal my weaknesses in certain topics which I can spend more time to work on it. I truly believe that constant assessment is crucial throughout the journey of pursuing medicine to improve oneself from time to time.
To gain a deeper and wider understanding of what medicine entails, I have taken a three-day hospital attachment in a government hospital in Johor, Malaysia. I was so fortunate to shadow a ...

  • Medicine in Translation: Journeys with My Patients, by Danielle Ofri

    1190 Words  | 3 Pages

    In the healthcare system many times patients are just patients and appointments are just appointments. The outlook on the patients and appointments all depends on the area of practice and the health professional themselves. Working in the emergency department, the nurses and doctors there typically do not see the same patient more than once and if they do the chance of them remembering them is slim to none just for the simple fact of the pace of the department. When it comes down to Physicians in the hospital setting, the care is not just quick and done. Great patient to healthcare professional relationships are formed and for some it may feel as if they are taking a “journey”(209) with their patients as they receive their medical care. This essay will be based off the book Medicine in Translation: Journeys with My Patients by Danielle Ofri, in which Ofri herself gives us the stories of the journeys she went on with several of her patients. Patients are more than just an appointment to some people, and when it comes to Ofri she tends to treat her patients as if they are her own family.

    I believe each one of us is gifted with a certain potential, and we are trimmed and molded accordingly by the tribulations of time until we reach our goal. Julia Roberts is an actress, Ronaldo a soccer player, and I am a doctor. What separates me from them is that, they have mastered the art, which in essence fulfills their destiny while I still soldier on with hard work in hand, and ambition right ahead. A wise man once said ‘Success is a journey, not a destination. Have faith in your ability rest will be just fine’. Inspired by my mentor at Shifa Clinical Research Center Islamabad, who I credit for my understanding of the sublime nature and cause of the term ‘research’, I wish to be on board as faculty at the institution in

  • Shifting Passions: From Livestock to Human Medicine

    842 Words  | 2 Pages

    Growing up in rural Texas, you have to learn to care for the things that are important to you. There really is not much to entertain yourself with so many adolescents become vulnerable to trouble. Luckily for me, I grew up with the responsibilities that came with growing up on a farm. I had things to care for on a daily basis and for the longest time, the things I cared for most were animals. I exhibited livestock in my youth and this is where I spent the majority of my time. I would come home from football or basketball practice and go straight up to the barn to tend to my animals. Along with feeding and cleaning, I would often administer vaccinations and antibiotics when needed. Because of my interest in medicine and science coupled with my love for animals some could say that I was destined to become veterinarian. The major I chose, animal science, even supported that notion. However, it was not until the summer after my freshman year of undergraduate where I realized it was human medicine that my heart was yearning for.

    One of my favorite quotes is by Steve Jobs, states, "Have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow know what you truly want to become." This quote is exactly what I am doing today by submitting my application to the Dental Hygiene program. I am taking years of training, success, and failure and focusing them all in one direction on obtaining my deepest desire. Over the last fourteen years, I've had plenty of time to develop myself and gain a full understanding of what I want to do with my life. I've come to not only love and appreciate every experience I've had in the medical field, but also aspire to grow and embrace the new challenge. Working as a Medical Assistant in an outpatient surgery clinic I learnt that I excel most when I'm working directly with patients, in a hands-on environment. I also found out that I'm extremely passionate about educating people, especially mothers; because I believe mothers play a key role in teaching the next generation about how to develop healthy lifestyle habits.

    “Hold my hand, Raja”, she used to tell me, calling me a king even though I was barely an adult. My grandmother or a-gee, as I called her in my mother tongue, always requested that I hold her hand when it was time for her daily insulin shots. She would always ask for me to give her the shots even though she knew how to take it herself and everyone at home were capable too. I felt awful when she winced in pain as I gave her the shot, day in and day out. I kept reminding her (and myself) that although it was a painful ordeal it was necessary to keep her healthy. As a child, I always wondered what was wrong with her, why she was having to take such painful shots, and most importantly what were in those shots that treated her diabetes. I believe that this was the beginning of my interest, which years later, would lead me to pursue Medicine as my career.

  • Statement of Purpose to Become a Clinical Psychologist

    896 Words  | 2 Pages

    When I graduated from high school I, like many students, had no clue what I wanted to do with my life. I thought that going to college, without any idea of what degree to get, would be a waste of money and time; so I made the decision to hold off on college. Ten years later, and after much deliberation and research, I found my calling to be psychology. The first step in becoming a clinical psychologist is to obtain a bachelor’s degree. It doesn’t have to be in psychology, in fact you can get an undergraduate degree in anything and then apply for a master’s degree in psychology, but I want to know as much as possible about psychology before I get into my Ph.D. By adding a minor in sociology, which is the study of human social behavior and its origins, development, and associations, I am hoping to obtain a broader look at why people are the way they are. A bachelor’s degree in psychology, with a minor in sociology, is valuable because I would like to become a clinical psychologist.
