Medicine has always been what I've always wanted to study since I was a kid
It has always been my lifelong dream
To help others
To be able to reach out and to make a difference in this world
I come from a family with many health professionals
2 of my immediate uncles and their wives are doctors
Another of my immediate uncle's wife is also a doctor
My mom, her sister and their mom(my grandma) are also nurses
Most of my sibs are also medical students
So I guess there's a lot of inspiration and motivation around me
The journey so far has been both rocky and good
I've had my good times and bad times
I've had my moment of despair and moment of hope
I've had times when I wanted to give up and times when God told me not to
But I'm glad to be more than half way done
I'll use this blog to share my past experiences in the medical world, and as time goes on I'll share the present and future
This is more like an introductory piece
So what am I all about
Well I'm just a normal girl with hopes, dreams and aspirations like everyone else
And God has blessed me abundantly cos things he brings my way I sometimes wonder if I deserve them
Its amazing hhow I'm in the medical field cos as a kid I hated hospitals, drugs and injections
I was told when my mom had my younger brother I refused to enter the hospital with my family cos I was scared of doctors and drugs and injections
I'd cry and say "I don't want to see yotor, yotor will gimme inyection"
Right now I still have a problem with needles but I'm dealing with it cos I've reached that part where I'm supposed to do stitches and give injections and see surgeries
When I watch movies and there's a shooting or stabbing, I always close my eyes cos I can't handle the jknife piercing the victim or the shooting
My brother will be like "are you sure you can handle surgeries"
And I'm like "I'll definitely not specialise in surgery"
Doctors are expected to be strong and brave
I guess that will come in due time before I finish my training
So far the journey has been good
I'm learning to build my confidence cos that is very important
As I clerk my patients I improve with time

@ buttercup yeah i'm glad i am. i've also wanted to be so many things but at the i guess we have to pick the best & most logical. i've had crazy dreams, wanted to be a musician(even though i didn't have a good voice), actress, poet, author, writer, photographic model, & so many things, just for one person. lol. which is hardly possible to achieve all. i hope you enjoy what you are studying. i guess all of our dreams will come true one day.
