During my medical school clinical years I developed keen interest in the field of Cardiology. Heart is one of the vital organs of the body and its complex structure and disease pathology always intrigued me to learn more about it. During my Research fellowship at NYU
while working on broken heart syndrome, my dearest desire became my cherished dream and I decided to become an Interventional cardiologist for two main reasons.
Iso Portion of deaths attributed to arteriosclerotic heart disease are certified by the medical examiner or chemic heart disease is one of the biggest killers, and along with stroke it accounted for a combined 16 million deaths in 2018. These diseases have remained the leading causes of death globally in the last 15 years. And the no 1 leading cause of death in the US is also heart disease.
“ According to “Quality of Death Certificate Diagnose of Arteriosclerotic Heart Disease” by Lewis Kuller. According to Kuller, L (1967) “A high prcoroner.As part of an epidemiologic study of sudden and unexpected death, we determined the clinical criteria for the diagnosis of arteriosclerotic heart disease as reported on the death certificate and whether arteriosclerotic heart disease was a principal cause of death or an associated disease”(p.340).
Robert Wood Johnson Medical School University hospital is the main teaching hospital for medical school students, residents and fellows along with excellent research facilities.

A successful doctor has impeccable work ethics, utmost professionalism and
mastered clinical skills, who embodies the highest of moral character and empathy with patients and society.
I am head over heels in love with this profession . I enjoy the most because I am utilizing all the energies of heart and soul in the noble cause of saving lives and making lives better for my patients and the society. When a patient on the death bed is able to walk back home safe and alive with a dr’s efforts and of course the will of Almighty God, It is the greatest happiness for a dr that no other profession has the privilege on this planet earth. As it’s written is Quran: “If you save one life you save the humanity”
In my opinion, being a doctor is a noble profession.It takes a painstaking effort to obtain this dignified and humanity serving degree, and it seems to be never ending. But when you become a doctor your life is totally changed.You have to be more responsible for your job.You have to manage your personal and professional life. Doctors have to work for long hours and also have to take care of his/her patients, give patients the information they want or need in a way they can understand. Respect patient’s right to reach decisions with doctor about their treatment and care. As well as support patients in caring for themselves to improve and maintain their health.Doctors life is not very hard as other people may think.If your are ambitions about your work you give all your focus on your work. Some doctors start their work early in the morning so they have to wake up early in the morning.Most doctors prefer to take new patients first as they take more time than follow ups. Sometimes they rush for emergency cases to treat patients.
Six days a week and patients range from 50-90 in the Outpatient clinic per day.In general I think doctors face many challenges such as treating patients carefully, improving
communication skills with patients and other doctors, some patients are rude so doctors have to treat them nicely.One of the biggest challenges a doctor has to face is the risk of doing errors in work because of stress.
The article from database “Can you trust your doctor?”by Donald Irvine and Kate Lloyd “Irvine, D., & Lloyd, K. (2003) Health care or healthcare is the maintenance or improvement of health via the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of disease, illness, injury, and other physical and mental impairments in human beings. Health care is delivered by health professionals (providers or practitioners) in allied health professions, chiropractic, physicians, physician associates, dentistry, midwifery, nursing, medicine, optometry, pharmacy, psychology, and other health professions (p.3)”.
In conclusion after interviewing the doctor I want to become a doctor and I will be confident about my profession.
