I interviewed Dr. Janet Geyer and received some great information from her. Geyer sand the hardest part of becoming a doctor was “The lack of personal time, everything became about school.” I knew that going into the medical field would be hard and the majority of my time would be spent studying, but hearing it from a doctor makes it real to me. I asked Geyer what makes her happy to be a doctor and why, she said “I like the intimate part of being a nurse, people tell me more than what they would normally tell others and sometimes I am really able to make a difference.” I thought about what she said and I would love to make a difference in someone’s life, but I also need to remember that I cannot get too attached to my patients. Geyer said that if she could go back and give herself advice from when she was in college she would tell…
Doctoring is the only profession where one’s career is devoted to another’s well being, and it is the only profession in which I can find academic challenge, honor, and moral fulfillment I seek.…
Like all the bright little colored boys and girls whom I knew when I was growing up in the 50's, I wanted to be a doctor. More accurately, my mother raised me to be a doctor. In a thousand ways, some subtle and some not so subtle, my mother implanted the idea that the sole calling worthy of the name was that of the physician.…
The driving force is to gain depth and knowledge to develop into a well-rounded medical professional. It will help not only better myself, but for the betterment of the community I serve. Moreover, if the…
I am interested in pursing the major I chose above because I have developed a passion for medicine through my own health obstacles. I suffer from Chronic Migraines, which has caused me to spend a great deal of my life in doctor's offices. Positive experiences with my doctors lead to me idolizing them as a young child; so much so that I memorized the every bone in the body at the age of five. This passion stayed alive and well as I grew older, however my admiration began to transition from the doctors themselves to the subject. This all stemmed from my own health; I wanted to know exactly what was happening with my body and why. Now, I want to dedicate my life to the subject and possibly be the doctor that inspires someone to discover their…
There are two instances in my life that has inspired me to gain interest in medicine. My grandmother when I was around the age of twelve received double bypass surgery and I fell in love with the physician who took care of her. The physician was a middle aged woman who was one of the kindest person I have ever met, and she gave us the news of how everything went fine during surgery. She also gave us great confidence in how my grandmother would return to normal soon. The look on my parents and aunts face when she gave the news gave me goosebumps and to this day I feel the same goosebumps when I think about this. I just wanted to one day be in a position to deliver good news to a family and to see that “look” of relief on their faces. Another…
I believe to be a good physician empathy is the key towards good quality healthcare and patient satisfaction. My excitement also stems from working with those who have the same interests as me. The thought of being divided into smaller groups as early as college and having the chance to perfect my collaboration skills is exciting because without teamwork you cannot succeed in the field of medicine. Overall, I aspire to someday be a mentor figure and a role model for students and residents.…
There are many aspects of health care that intrigue me. I’ve always wanted to be a nurse; unfortunately it is very difficult to get into the program. However, if I ever go back to do that, I would want to either do labor and delivery or pediatrics. I have had the privilege of witnessing the birth of one of my nieces and it was the most amazing experience. To be a nurse and being a part of that on a daily basis would be awesome. I also have an extra soft spot for children, which is why pediatrics would also be of interest to me. Life threatening diseases do not only affect adults. I feel that being able to help children would only be helping our future.…
I was raised with almost everyone in my family working in the medical field. We have marine Doctors, nurses of all sorts, therapists, and even behind the scene medical family members working in jobs like medical billing and coding. Growing up and hearing stories at family gatherings of their experiences, always left me on the edge of my chair. I would not go play barbies with my cousins or basketball with the uncles I was the kid eavesdropping in on the adult conversations. I wanted to know more but most of all I was intrigued.…
Ever since I was a little girl, I have had the dream of working in the medical field. I have always fanaticized the idea of helping others get better from their injuries or sicknesses, and through my education I have realized that I would do better as a therapist of some sort rather than a medical doctor. As a therapist, they tend to help patients get better after their injury, so they hopefully see them progressively get healthier. As a doctor, it can be the other way around. I quickly realized that I needed to be on the somewhat happier side of healthcare, because I do not think I would be able to handle the emotional stress of helping people when they are at their absolute worst.…
Medicine gives people hope that there is a light at the end of the tunnel and I want to be a part of that light. I know that it is going to be a hard and difficult road but, I will overcome those obstacles like others before me did. Nobody said it was going to be easy anyway. I am going to be a doctor that helps others in life, even if I could just help one family and bring some closure my journey would not be in vain.…
However, I am not going to let this discourage me because I believe that I was born to be a pediatrician. I tried to look through a list of jobs, but I couldn’t find one that suits me better than medicine. With all the information I gathered from my research, I will try to find ways to make being a medical student an enjoyable trip despite the years that it will take me. “Success is not a destination, but the road that you’re on. Being successful means that you’re working hard and walking your walk every day. You can only live your dream by working hard towards it. That’s living your dream”-Marlon…
When all of the sudden it hit me… the medical field. I have matured enough to handle my adolescent day concerns. I am a mother, a nurturer and naturally care for others and their well being. I am still very much so riveted by the human body. As of now, I can’t be in school for a lengthy amount of time so medical assistant became my career choice. Once I complete my certification, my goal is to work in an OBGYN or Pediatric office. I find the women’s reproductive system captivating and astounding and I simply adore children! Either way, I will be happy and making money; and that’s my ultimate…
When i graduate from Bay state College i will be a Medical Assistant, As there is many places for a medical assistant to work, i have yet to fully decide which area of medicine i would like to work but i am more leaning towards a hospital setting. I think i would get a better experience as they are always full of vary of patients. What made me decide to become a medical assistant was to help people, i have always found joy in helping. It is a good feeling to know you are helping patients when they don’t have a strong support system from family or you are the reason someone is having a good or better day. Also you are helping the doctor be able to prepare and preform for the procedure that is needed to be done.…
Being a doctor has always been my dream. Maybe because of my parents’ and grandparents’ influence or maybe because of what my kindergarten mates said. But now I know exactly what I have to do and why.…
