Becoming A Doctor
A doctor is someone who can help someone else in need. There are many types of doctors, ranging from general pediatricians to specialists. They are respected people and are looked to when something is wrong. Everyone needs a doctor at some point, so doctors are very much in demand.
I am interested in this career because I like to help people. Also, it pays well so I can live off the salary. Another reason is because many of my relatives are doctors, nurses, or dentists. Even though school and training are very hard, it pays off in the end, when someone can make a difference in someone's life. I am not sure if I would like to be a pediatrician, or a specialist. Specialists probably earn more money, but do not do as much,

In college, one must study courses to prepare for medicine, such as biology, chemistry, and some advanced mathematics. It generally takes seven to eight years to finish his education. The first four years, one would take pre-med. classes. Then it's on to medical school, where for four years one learns about the area of medicine one chooses. After medical school, about one year of internship is needed. Then he becomes a resident and practice medicine under supervision of a senior doctor. All together, it is about 11 years before one actually become an independent doctor.
Doctors will always be needed. Because of this, and because of the population growth, doctors will always be in demand and the profession will continue to grow. This way, a doctor will be unemployed less, and will be more secure, financially.
A doctor can earn from $60,000 to $700,000. Pediatricians and doctors at free clinics earn the least, although they are probably the most needed. There are many doctors that want to help children, so they become pediatricians, even if they earn a little less than others. Specialists earn a little more, from
$90,000 to $200,000. These specialists range from neurologists,

Of course, the ones that are in need will earn more. The doctors that earn the most are surgeons. Doctors that perform tonsillectomies will earn less than plastic surgeons, and plastic surgeons will earn less than cardiovascular surgeons and neurosurgeons. Anesthesiologists, who give the patients shots during surgery, earn around $250,000 a year. The fields that require more patients, nerve, and perfection earn the most money.
Doctors are needed all over the world. That's why they want to build a hospital on an airplane. Everyone gets sick, so a doctor could go anywhere and probably get a job. Of course, large cities will have more hospitals, and need more doctors. However, if someone lives in a small town, and he is the only doctor, then he will have people turn to him whenever anyone in town gets sick.
Many companies will employ a doctor. Kaiser Permanente is a hospital chain nearby. Community hospitals will employ doctors. Universities, such as UCLA or
UCI, also have hospitals where a doctor can work. One can also go into practice by himself, although it is more risky. Doctors can pretty much work anywhere.

From the time a child enters preschool, teachers begin asking a common question, “What do you want to be when you grow up?” That dreaded query has always haunted me, mostly because the way it was redundantly asked put a ton of pressure on me and my peers. The question was like a rusty nail being hammered into our head’s by society. I continuously had the cliché answers of becoming a doctor, teacher, or a police officer, but with serious reservations. After years of not having a clue, I started to think about what I like to do after the stresses of work and school were gone at the end of the day.
When I was a kid, I wanted to have multiple skills like being a surgeon, lawyer, architect, and an astronaut all at the same time. However, once I realized the amount of schooling required for each profession, I thought it would be best to only pick one. Since then, I decided I either wanted to be a pediatric/general surgeon or a psychiatrist. As time
Enter here The ear splitting crackle from a whip is heard as a master shouts orders to a slave. This to most people would make them comfortable. The idea of slavery is one that is unsettling to most people. This is because most people feel it is unmoral or morally wrong to own another human being. However Nietzsche would not necessarily believe this because he did believe in a morality that fits all. Ethics and morality are completely objective and cannot be one set of rules for everyone. Ethics and morality that are more strictly defined are for the weak, the strong do not need a set of rules because they can take care of themselves.
Jesus was establishing with the Beatitudes new ideals that contain and showed His standards for mercy, compassion and spirituality.
Nietzsche doesn’t want the reader to convert back to prehistoric ways but rather use our ability to look back at history and overcome bad conscience.
The summer after my freshman year in college, I went back to Honduras to volunteer with the children who had leukemia at the National Public Hospital. I have never been as intimidated as my first day, when I followed the attending oncologist, while he was showing me the pediatric unit. He also explained my duties, which were attending and playing with the children. When I was left to start my job, I felt almost as nuisance in the midst of that hectic hospital room. Unsure on how to approach the patients, I looked around and found a tender smiling face. Although I was nervous, the warmth of his expression gave me the confidence to walk towards his bed. After a long and pleasant talk, I learned that Diego was from a remote rural town, and that his father visited him three days a week because he had to work to support his family. Diego suffered from a severe form of leukemia and had been hospitalized for nine months. Due to his poor health, he was unable to walk or even sit up in his bed. Hence, he developed atrophy in his legs causing them to lose strength and mobility. Yet with a huge sparkle in his eyes, Diego shared with me his dreams of becoming a great soccer player. As I turned away to retrieve the board games that he requested, I was moved by his courage to dream despite the hardships he was enduring at such a young age. This encounter was the beginning of an important turning point in my life. What initially began as a job became a real duty for me. I felt compelled and obligated to the children whom I interacted with, gaining satisfaction in doing so. At first, it seemed I was doing them a favor but rather it was the children that made an impact in my life. After I left Diego’s bedside that day, I was heartbroken to see h...
I have known from an early age that I’ve wanted to become a doctor. Helping people has always been a passion of mine. When I was younger, I wanted to be a veterinarian. However, after working with young children I have found that I love working with them, and have a connection with children. Currently, I am interested in becoming either a neonatologist or a general pediatrician so I can continue to work with young children.
In the future, I wish to obtain an occupation in the medical field. I would like to start out by working for a Biology major and working in a premedical field in college where I can use my interest in medicine and my curiosity for knowledge to gain insight that would be needed to become a helpful doctor in the medical field. As I move along in my career, I would like to work my way through the pathway so that I can expand my skills in healing others, such as diagnostic abilities, effectively giving treatment and so on. I want to learn as much as possible so I can fulfill my ultimate dream of helping others that need answers to their medical problems and so that more people can live happily and healthily in the world. I hope to bring happiness to others and allowing people to live comfortably.
As stated in John 1:12, “Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in
My career choice is to become a pediatrician. The question is: what makes this job so interesting or fantastic enough to be chosen? This job requires many sacrifices, skills, and strengths to endeavor the obstacles on the way to the goal. This particular job is also a very honorable and noble job in the sense of helping children with their illnesses and ailments. Personally, I love children and I’m always fascinated by their actions and interesting techniques of expressing themselves. Since I am intrigued by the children’s personality I love spending time with them (and that’s why their child-like ways rub off on me). Thus, I believe that my own childish personality and my love of children will motivate me in the near future to help them out with their medical needs. Also, being a pediatrician and helping out children has its own rewards. Not only will I be doing something I enjoy, but I will be getting paid a generous price as well. A pediatrician’s salary is not the highest one compared to surgeons or cardiologists, but it’s enough to have a life that is something more than simply satisfying. Another good aspect of this job is that they only focus on the health of children rather than all of the age groups. An adult and a child are so different they are nearly two different species. If a child is brought to a doctor who specializes in all age groups, the child would not be getting the same kind of attention that he or she would be getting, compared to that from a doctor who specializes only in children. Doctors that specialize in all age groups are used to make quick, rough, and fundamental actions need for the healing of the patient. One does not simply treat a child the same way an adult would be treated. The child would becom...
...o deserve death, but He died for us, that is, in our place, bearing our punishment due us because of our sin. He took our place and satisfied our punishment, and in turn we receive His healing. Through His gracious and perfect sacrifice we may accept His righteousness that is now imputed to us (Rom. 5:19).
...if we are able to see it in others - or even worse, in ourselves. As I reflect on my own Christian beliefs and my own behavior, I see that Nietzsche is challenging my morals and beliefs. First, with the very fact I’m Christian and believe in God is directly contradictory to his ideals. With that comes my desire to live a moral life and pattern this life after Jesus Christ, as well as a belief in an afterlife. All such things have been touched on previously as being considered foolish by the ‘Anti-Christ’ and ‘immoralist’. He speaks with great irony concerning the belief of morals and the opinions of those who claim knowledge of the purpose of this life. I believe his influence is still prominent in those who choose to carefully examine and consider his work, as well as those who seek greater understanding of the purpose of religion and its role in our lives.
The BMI scale is a measurement to determine if a person is obese, overweight, or underweight using their height and weight. This topic has progressed into one of controversies. Reasons would be that obesity rates have doubled from 14% to 31% in the United States since the mid 1970’s. The increased number of fast food restaurants, and processed food are being blamed for this yet there is freedom to choose what and where to eat. Back then, many people bought food that was grown and produced by farmers who produced fresh products. This is considered the logic behind obesity rates being intriguingly lower than they are today. Also, an estimated 300,000 deaths were because of unhealthy weight in 2013, being the third highest cause of death, behind high blood pressure and smoking. The large spike of deaths sparked interest in medical associations and doctors to begin “making a move” to fight
In “Against The Grains”, Moyer uses statistics to show the logic of the article. She reports the result of a research published by researchers at the US Veterans Affairs Medical Center and Duke University. The result is low-carb dieters lost 12.9 percent of their former weight, while low-fat dieters lost only 6.7 percent (Moyer 8). “12.9” and “6.7” and directly shows the difference between low-fat diet and low-carb diet. First of all, people are more sensitive about statistic numbers than words. So, these numbers let readers clearly know the point that the author wants they get. Moreover, these numbers can make the main idea more logical and
All in all being a surgeon has been a lifelong dream of mine. As a surgeon you must be prepared for anything every single day of every single year. Some may be able to handle that others might not. Surgeons may arguably have the hardest, most stressful job. They have another person’s life in their hands and that person may live or die based on the actions of that surgeon. The work is tuff, the education is rougher but being able to withstand all that, and fighting each and every day to reach my ultimate goal is well worth it. Once I start I won’t turn back, being a surgeon is what I want to do, since I’ve started highs school I have had my eyes set on this job and giving up isn’t a option. After learning all these things I have, I want to be a surgeon. This job saves lives and being able to do that will make my life worth wild.
