what doctors do
what are advantages and disadvantages of medicine?
Advantages
1. rewading, with the capacity to play a positive role in society
3. interdisciplinary profession—lot doctors, nurses, allied health professionals wor together—really suits love to work with other to achieve outocmes, and challenge and test communication sills
4.provides the opportunity to engage in lifelong learning(and the opportunity of diverse career opportunities, including research)
Disadvantages:\
i know medicine is a rewarding career, but it
1.high workload/burnout
3.difficult to balance work and family commitments- cna take a toll on emotional and mental ehalth
4.emotional demanding, involves constanty seeing people at their sickest, the inability to treat or cure some diseases, dealing with death
social support sytem for dealign with thse challenges rpesented
but these challenges are what excite me the opportunity for lifelong learning for the betterment of patient care and I’m willing to face these challenges and further become resilient
what do you think are the special challenges that you will specific challenges that you will encounter in your medical studies?
I think the challenges that may occur
-medical school demaning—academic demnads-pressure and responsibility to leanr subject matter well
-spendign time away fromhome may have to work on placemnts dar home may pose a challenge for my social wellbeing–put in stressful and challenging clinical environments
for the first 2-3 years or medical school you will be studying the basics of physiology, biochemistry, anatomy, pharmacology, within particular systems which will not hold much clinical relvance until much later in your training. How does that make you feel.
i think learning the basics is important in medicine, because these form the foundations of the clinical procedures that we are introduced later on during clinical years. and is important to learn these basics well to maximise positive patient outcomes
why medicine rather than another career
I am aware nurses, dentist, students in science all play in an important role in society. Nurses play a key role in society, as they seek to enhance people stay at a hospital and their health, \assist with the healing process, and provide support,
while medicne is till my prefence as nursing does not provide the opportunity
to diagnose patients
immersse myself in more intellectually challening challening tasks, and
provide holistic care,
and able to immerse myself into wider range of specialities and fullfil my intellecturl curoitsyt
medicine allows a diverse range of roles such as educator, doctor, counsellor,
such as paediratica peadiratic nurses available, the aspect os surgery
furhter dentists are important in society as they diagnose and teeth problems and also the mouth area and the first health care professiona to recognise a wide variety of dieases such as oral cancer
however i would prefer to do medicine because i want to involved in whole body care and to have greate opportunities to engage in convos while dentistry have limited
last individuals in science are important to science as it contributes to the production of knowledge and contributes to innovaiton in our moden world ,
with more interactionbut i want to study medicine because i able to get moe interactions with patients ad and greater opportunities to engage myself in clinical drug trials

Some advantages include: it allows specialists to discuss and provide expert advice in the care of a given patient
