I enjoy being a doctor. My businessmen, engineer and software friends might earn more than me, bankers may have more benefits than me. But I still enjoy being a doctor because I can make someone better, because I can save a family , because I am a part of a miracle many a times and because I am symbol of hope in despair.
People save a life by accident and feel proud for the rest of their lives. I do it for a living. Is there any better way of living than this?
My profession has given me enough. Being doctor I have more than enough money to raise my kids, have a decent house, enjoy little hobbies, needs are met. In terms of income, being a doctor I am among the top 5 % in the world, almost an outlier ( at the boundary of 2 SD). I am also amongst the most intelligent and the top elite professionals in the world . In the current scenario still the toppers of high schools , SAT exams and other entrance tests in India and abroad want to take medicine as a career.
I am grateful to all those people who invested in me to make me doctor. I am thankful to all my patients who waited for hours, so that I can present the case for teaching. I am thankful to God that he helped me to gain skills that now I can contribute and can have a meaningful life. Thankful to my patients who put their trust and faith in me and I wouldn't let them down .
Yes, it is stressful. I agree I worked very hard, without a doubt I had many sleepless nights. I have worked days together without holidays , vacations or weekends .
End of the day, it is my choice. I am leading a much easier life than those soldiers , army men , officers who stay in tents in snow, deserts and jungles and die every day for us, and what a shame they die unknown . They are doing a tremendous job as well . All professions have challenges but not all have such returns as this one .
My profession has given a meaning to my life, it is my turn to justify that. I love being a doctor , actually I feel blessed being one !!!
This one is dedicated to all my doctor colleagues and friends who are doing a great job wherever they are and whatever might be the circumstances, they are making a difference in someone's life ! Dedicated to similar friends. 😊
