Persuasive Speech On Future Doctors

Great Essays
“One way to get the most out of life is to look upon it as an adventure.” As aspiring young medical leaders we will be faced with many challenges and stumbling blocks through the process of becoming medical leaders. We as leaders need to strive for our dreams. I can definitely say I’ve been greatly motivated by the inspirational three day experience at the Congress. Beginning with my first day of the Congress, there were exceptionally great leaders speaking to us future medical leaders and scientist, about their new discoveries as they are being faced with in their field of expertise. On the second day, we had the chance to observe a live surgical procedure. We also had the chance to directly ask the surgeon informative questions. Now concluding …show more content…
There will be numerous amount of challenges that medical doctors will encounter in the medical field. One major problem in the medical industry is Health Care. Harvard Medical School; Plastic Surgeon Professor Bohdan Pomahac, stated in his speech, “By the time you become Medical Physicians, Health Care will get out of control and you will need to solve this issue when you become future Physicians”. Health Care has been a problem for over the course of a few years now.”The fundamental problem with the Health Care system in this country is its ever-rising cost”. The solution to our Health Care crisis would be to develop a new system of health insurance. This new system should include a fixed yearly amount of money offered to people who need medical insurance. Rather than the generous amount of money being supplied to these patients. We need to cut the budget of Health Care before it becomes a serious financial issue for our economy. Another challenge the medical field encounters is, finding a cure for specific diagnoses. Dr. Damiano, who is a Professor in Biomedical Engineering has a daughter who was born with Type 1 Diabetes. Ever since she was little, he has been trying to find a solution for Type 1 Diabetes. Having to see his daughter take insulin every day has influenced himself to find a cure! He is currently working on creating an artificial bionic pancreas that automatically …show more content…
It is incredible to know that a professor can partially transform someone 's face after they have had a major deformation. I was astounded by the miraculous story of Carmen Blandin. The husband of Carmen broke into her house and beat her mercilessly. She was in a coma for 3 ½ months and when she woke up, she was blind and permanently disfigured with burns all over her body. After the surgery, it wasn’t easy for her to remain strong with the intense pain she had to go through but she was brave. With the help of Dr.Pomahac he was able to recover about 70% of her face back to normal. This surgical procedure has immensely saved Carmen’s life and has encouraged her to believe that there is a reason to live. She has inspired me in an applicable way in which I can now say, I should be thankful for this life God has given me! Another one of my favorite speakers’ was Carson Barry. Carson is only 12 years old and has been researching concussions for 2 years now. He has ascertained that the majority of student athletes have at least once experienced a concussion throughout their seasonal sport. He plans to continue his research on investigating how the force of impact on a helmet is likely to cause an athlete to experience a concussion. It is unbelievable to believe that a 12 year old child will be interested in researching concussions. At that age, I was still a child

    I clearly remember the day I found my father lying on the sidewalk as he suffered from a stroke. I was barely a teenager when my father became ill. My family spent countless hours in the hospital, nursing home, and various doctors ' offices trying to learn what had happened to this man who was our pillar of strength. I recall how the nurses became his greatest advocate and always voiced their concern for him. In those moments I realized I had found my calling in the field of nursing.…

    Some say the Civil War furthered medical intelligence, others say it prevented people from further study of the medical field. Surgeries back then were brutal and sometimes, unnecessary. Amputations, for example, existed among the army because bullets were stuck in the bones of the soldiers. Medics could not save two-thirds of wounded soldiers because they knew nothing about bacteria and the importance of sanitation. They dressed wounds with the same bandages on different people because the medics thought it would save supplies of bandages (Wegner).…

    They call them “Tap-taps,” the brightly painted open back trucks that transport passengers through the dusty streets of Haiti. A traveler taps the side of the vehicle to board, pays, rides and then taps to jump off at a desired destination. For one particular man who sat with his face covered by a towel, that destination was the Diegue clinic in Port-au-Prince. All I knew from intake was that this patient was here for a foot issue. I noticed the adult sitting uncomfortably, a towel wrapping his foot, as his eyes scanned around the room.…

    1) Briefly describe your exposure to medicine As the daughter of a pediatrician, the medical field has surrounded me my entire life. However, my familiarity with the details of medicine expanded at age 15 when I began to volunteer at the C.A.R.E. Clinic, which provides medical care for the uninsured. My internship at a medical examiner’s office exposed me to the anatomy and physiology of the human body and the medical causes of death. In college, I explored medicine by volunteering in the emergency department at Children’s Hospital and Clinics of Minnesota in St. Paul and participated in a Global Medical Brigades trip to rural Honduras.…

    The field is always growing and changing and I yearn to undertake in this lifetime of learning. I find it so exciting that one day I can serve people by improving their health and do so using cutting-edge technologies, some which may have yet to be invented. I may not be able to change the world on the whole, but small actions can have a big influence. I look forward to creating a positive impact on a personal level, treating holistically and compassionately, as this is a career path that calls for an understanding of the human experience as much as it does an understanding of the human body. It is this interplay of science and service that makes medicine so unique, so compelling, and so fit a profession for me to…

    The ability to die is inherited by all people at the moment of conception but the legal right to die is a topic most concerning in today’s politics. Andrew D. Sumner, a graduate a Penn State’s College of Medicine in 1990, proposes that individuals should not have the legal right to end their life due to terminal illness or ailment. Approximately 1.2% of American citizens die every year from some form of terminal illness(Guy, Maytal, and Theodore A. Stern 6). Many of those deaths involve excruciating pain from the illness itself and family members suffering over an hourglass that just won 't seem to run out. Denying people the right to chose when they want to pass on their own terms is simply cruel and unjust, not only to the patient, but to the loved ones of the individual.…
