But as much as I love children and working at the hospital, my passion for medicine encompasses all aspects of my skills and interests. To work as a pediatric hospitalist or surgeon at Texas Children’s Hospital is my…

“The Use of Force”, by William Carlos Williams identifies the manner in which society looks at doctors in the 1800’s which compares and contrasts to how modern society sees the medical profession. Doctor’s back in the 1800’s will use drugs as the medicine. Some of the doctors did not even go to college or anything they will just practice with a regular doctor for a while.

It saved me days of research by myself. Coming from a doctorless family, I did not know what a doctor has to go through in order to be able to practice medicine.
