You
being in a medical school, are a doctor one day, by default whether you study
good or not. But it’s not the matter of fact that you are a doctor and the
public believes easily you as a noble. You have to be a kind of good, something
known in the public as ‘good doc’.
Public calls you as ‘doc saab’ early
enough that still you are not a doctor. All your family boasts on you, and have
their heads held high enough that one day you will be a doctor in service of
people. The most noble profession, easily believed by all whether they know you
personally or not, at any moment in all matter of life! Do you have any friends in other faculties enjoying the same? Let alone the trust, they need
every step of documentation there!
In your medical school, you may have
come across the phrase by old professors or the other senior telling you to be
a human! What a joke, you hesitate, who I
am then, right? All walking in two limbs and talking in two are not the
human being unless they have feeling of human, something called human touch!
Otherwise it’s only the anima-touch passing the life for eating and passing! The
day you realize that you are not a perfect human being or in other words the
perfect candidate of good doctor,
onwards you start to be! That will be a good omen!
One day, one of my non medical friend
tweeted from hospital ward, who was a party for his 3 year nephew admitted for
sepsis, “Enter hospital if you have to
see what life is, and close your eyes sitting in the waiting chair!”. Yes,
we’ve been always lucky enough to be in
this place, not only as the philosopher to define the life, but also to experience
it prematurely and guide the ones who are to be suffered! Enough, we don’t need
to close our eyes to see what life is , but we have to open our eyes to feel
it! Not only the iris diaphragm with the intact visual pathway, but also all
the occipital lobe ( area 17 , 19) along with temporal and frontal lobes.
Last but not the least about this
profession, what I’ve experienced as a medical student for these long years is
that, “you are ‘the one’ in the society, getting such an opportunity!” Even a
simple talk about the problem alleviates it a lot! It doesn’t deal with the
pills and operations all the time, it helps tremendously for the recovery that
you maintain your integrity and dignity to talk about the presenting problem of
the patient and address it any way that s/he complies with! I’m lucky to
experience being a final year student, told by the patient that I was a
conversant one to talk about her concern, and it relieved her by a lot, that
nobody bothered to hear her like this before! What I did was only to take a
history, examine her thoroughly in good compliance, and present the same to professor! Nothing more! Salute and
many-more thanks to her that she believed me and shared her problem with me!
