A doctor is a special profession. Not everyone can become a doctor.
A person who has decided to devote himself to this profession must have certain qualities:
- First of all, you need to have the appropriate abilities, thanks to which you will be able to assimilate the colossal amount of information given in the medical university, and will be able to subsequently apply it in practice. Good memory alone is not enough for this. It is necessary not only to study all the medical literature and textbooks offered by teachers, it is important to be able to apply the knowledge gained at the university in practice, in the process of treating patients.
- The second important quality is the ability to compassion, the ability to understand the pain of a person, to sympathize with his misfortune. But this should in no way interfere with medical practice.
- It is very important for a doctor to be able to make the right decision and implement it, first of all, to treat not a disease, but a patient.
The medical profession is very multifaceted and varied. If you decide to become a doctor, you should consider specialization.
Therapist
It is customary to call him "the king of doctors", since first of all they go to him for examination, and only then he directs the patient to a specialized specialist.
Family doctor
Unlike a therapist, he not only examines the patient, but also prescribes treatment, monitors the course of the disease, makes decisions about possible hospitalization or the invitation of a narrow specialist.
Pediatrician
This is a general practitioner for children. First of all, a pediatrician must have such qualities as kindness and patience. Full dedication is required, without which the work of a pediatrician becomes meaningless.
Surgeon
The most responsible and difficult profession. The work is connected with physical and nervous stress. To become a surgeon, you need to enter the pediatric or preventive medicine faculty, complete training in the general program for 5 years, and only in the sixth year start training in the profile.
Obstetrician-gynecologist
Must know both the surgical and therapeutic aspects of their specialization, however, there are features that are not inherent in either the profession of a surgeon or the profession of a therapist.
Anesthesiologist-resuscitator
They will have to work with patients in serious condition. These doctors have a special responsibility. They are involved in calculating the dose and administering anesthesia, so they must be ready to answer for the result of their work.
Dentist
