“I have no special talent. I am only passionately curious” – Albert Einstein.
We’ve all read a million quotes but once in a while you read one and you just stop and think. For everyone else, these are words like any other but not for you; you relate to it because deep down you know how the person felt when he/she said those words. I’ve always thought of myself as a curious person, always wanting to figure out what makes things tick. Whether it is a TV, a computer, a car or a human being. Believe it or not, I’ve always been the go-to guy when my family and friends experience a tech related problem. I always feel a sense of satisfaction when I figure something out and I am eager to convey my knowledge to others. I remember when I was in school …show more content…
I really wanted to be a Surgeon. But then started the actual ‘becoming a doctor’ part, as I started studying I realized that my proclivity to riddle solving was satisfied much more by Medicine rather than Surgery. Each case I studied was a riddle waiting to be solved. This thought was reinforced when I graduated and started my internship in Pakistan. I worked at JPMC, a government owned tertiary care hospital having 1800 beds. During that time I came across an immense volume of patients and cases.

The desire to be the best and to practice modern medicine brought me to the USA. During my time here I gained familiarity with the US health care system. I learned how the doctors explain to their patients the viable treatment options, the patients’ right to choose their treatment and how a healthcare system works like a well-oiled machine where everyone respects and learns from each other. During my recent research experience, I developed huge respect for clinical research. Medicine needs to evolve constantly and research helps us to achieve this. It’s very exciting to come to work each day knowing what you discover today could change how patients are treated in the future. In the near future a lot of advancement is anticipated. As I write this personal statement, an antidote to Xarelto has passed Phase-3 trials. As it appears, by the end of this year we might have a working antidote to Xarelto, thus retiring the old guard Warfarin. It’s surely an exciting time for all of us and we need to keep ourselves up to speed with this rapidly changing field of modern
