In Year 5 we had to dress up for a day as the person we wanted to be as an adult. I woke early and dressed in a white garment, instruments and tools tucked into my breast pocket, pad gripped in hand. I wanted to be an artist then but now I have made the decision to be a doctor.
Being an imaginative youth, the human body: the intricate structures of electrical and biochemical pathways working, or not, in synchronisation, is something I found amazing but also terrible. Intellectually I was interested in why these failures leading to illness happen but particularly in observing how the consequence of disease, something so feared, is managed so skilfully.
I spent a week at a local GP's surgery and quickly realised the importance of patient confidentiality
