Happy Monday! Weather has really been up and down these past few weeks. But spring is surely on its way. Coming back from Spring break was certainly hard this morning. Being that I recently did a 24 hour shift at work. Being an EMT has its perks but that is certainly not one of them at times. Now as I go to my classes around campus, I can barely keep my eyes open.
Trying to enjoy myself a bit through the times I had to myself (yesterday), I decided that I would binge watch Grey’s Anatomy until I fell asleep. Watching it made me do some deep reflecting. I never really understood how I became an EMT or came to the thought of being a doctor. Let alone trying to get into a Paramedic program before going to medical school.
I wondered to myself if medicine was really for me. I have this healthy anxiety that can be good in the field. But I often find myself doubting my knowledge or feeling less than my peer even though they have way more years than I do.
Watching Grey’s Anatomy – I mean really analyzing it from a medical perspective, there are a lot of things that happen in an episode that are rare. But when it comes to relationships and the lack thereof, that in some cases may be on the dot. Having the career of being a doctor, nurse, or EMS professional, can be the most excruciating, nauseating, and more stressful career decision I could have. Yet why do I still work towards it?
It’s one of the few things I believe I could do for a while without getting bored. Everyone will have their bad and good days. Maybe more bad than good. But I have to say, One good day succeeds over 10 bad awful days. That one good day that you saved a life makes the next 10 days of hell and no sleep worth it.
Becoming a doctor in the long run, will be worth it!
Have a good day,
Andrea Othela
