Therapeutic Radiography Personal Statement

interaction of human physiology and medicine has fascinated me from a young age. This was primarily because I was born without a thyroid gland, which got me interested in the treatment provided for me and how that contributed to my health. I have therefore appreciated the role of doctors and their responsibility as they play an important role in the preservation of society. I see myself to be a very caring individual who would be able to handle sensitive issues in professional manner. Like the doctors that are working in caring and treating my thyroid dysfunction, I also want to work in a similar profession so I too can help patients with the use of relevant care. Therefore, therapeutic radiography has appealed to me greatly, as the content covered is largely relevant to the field of work that I wish to pursue. Therapeutic radiography will enable me to grasp the necessary diagnostic skills by recognising patient symptoms and therefore giving me the ability to prescribe and apply adequate treatments. I also have a desire in fully understanding the human anatomy so I can work on cures and treatments to prevent and fight against diseases. This requires effort, time and …show more content…
However, I desire to study these subjects in much more depth to gather a more thorough understanding of how they work together. Modules such as genetics interested me to how we can now understand DNA in depth and how we can manipulate these codes for example, to clone and generate required genes to fight diseases and illnesses. After studying biochemistry, it became more apparent how biology and chemistry are essential subjects to appreciate fully human physiology. Learning how food can be digested through the complex and intricate organs was an interesting insight on how mechanical and chemical features work together in the
