A general practitioner also known, as physician is a fulfilling and well-known career because it gives a doctor the knowledge to help people find the cure to their illness and maintain them healthy. Doctors have such a passion for people that they will do the impossible, possible to help people survive their problem.

A general practitioner must be very compassionate and caring person. (Shelly, Page 2, 2007) Anybody could say that their personality matches with their future career but not
