My passion for life stems from my desire to
help people, and one of the most enjoyable parts of life (for me) is listening
to people tell their story. To me, medicine is an outlet where I can listen to
a person explain why they are feeling sick or have a certain problem, and
ultimately share with me a part of their story. I love medicine because my role
is very interesting – the patient is required to tell me their ailment in order
to get treatment, and because of who I am, I feel this necessity to rise up and
show the patient that yes, you can trust me with your story and yes I really do
want to help you. What’s interesting is I understood the philosophy of the
doctor as treating the illness or the problem more so than the patient, and this
is exactly what I do not want to do. I want to treat my patients like human
beings and help them in the best way possible.
