Attending physician

through each gesture of their hands and the wrinkles on their faces. With a look of satisfaction, the conversation concludes as the physician embraces the young boy before attending to his next patient. In that instant, I pondered about the doctor and all that he had experienced to be in this moment. Through all the joys and trials he faced on his journey to becoming a physician, his mind was set on being the one who acquired the skills necessary to help this young boy. That was when I knew that…

assumed that patients are extremely unhappy with the way that doctors treat them. This may seem like an obvious assumption, but it is a risky assumption nonetheless because until the survey is completed, we will not know whether patients want their physicians to change the way they interact with them. There are important cultural and social factors to take into account with this assumption because this view of medicine and healthcare could very well be just how medicine is viewed in Zambia.…

dirty word in today’s society. Some people are ignorant to what the true definition of what having good quality of life is. The particular ethical issue I will be discussing lies within the death and dying chapter. I plan to focus on the topic, Is Physician Assisted Suicide moral or immoral? I chose this topic because of most recent case in Oregon of Brittany Maynard. Her story really touched my heart; I think her case is extremely sad and unfortunate but helped open the public eye to the…

My goal is to pursue a career in medicine for multiple reasons, but the one of the reasons is because I want to break the language barrier. I believe every person should have a right to be heard and understood. I was born and raised by Haitian parents. As a result I 'm bilingual.Im able to speak Haitian creole and English. Im thankful to be bilingual because i 'm able to communicate with my grandmother and my family from Haiti. In Haiti there is great need of medical attention in small rural…

went looking for an emergency to handle. For the most part, Johnson left me alone during the rotation and interacted with me only on rare occasion. One day, however, a number of residents were out sick, and Johnson was forced to serve as a back-up physician for a few hours. After I evaluated a thin, ill-appearing, Haitian alcoholic male, who came into the E.R. complaining of abdominal pain, I asked Johnson to countersign my orders for a few blood tests and X-rays because the residents were all…

reassured her that the talented team of doctors taking care of her would do their best. When Mrs. S was being wheeled back into the OR, he held her hand throughout the process reassuring her. Witnessing these interactions helped fortify the type of physician I want to become: one who combines some of the best medical technology with a solid foundation in medical pharmacology, pathophysiology, biochemistry, and humanism in order to care for patients in their most critical…

expect in a medical career. I know that being a physician requires a sincere dedication, the utmost physical and mental determination to succeed, and a strong desire to serve others. I have demonstrated these traits through my various extracurricular activities: from assisting patients in the surgical department at Providence Willamette Falls Medical Center and in the cardiovascular recovery area (CVRA) at Tulane medical Center, to regularly attending grand rounds and interacting with medical…

patients coming through the department. In regarding to the attending, I was wondering if practicing medicine for so long has reduced his sensitivity to patients. I hope my observations would constantly remind me to be attentive and sensible to the patients and emulate what the 4th year medical student did for the patients. My experience helped me to realize the important of the patient interview during office visit, and primary care physicians are the frontline of medicine in helping…
