New Semester, New Resolution

Started my first day of study semester today. Its Tuberculosis (TB) cycle, going to last for 2 weeks.

Too bad, supposed to get to a faraway hospital, took a bus, walked for around 15 mins, in a temperature of about -6 degrees, BUT just to find out that I’ve lost my way !!! Argh… wasted my effort and money for nothing ! We walked round a circle, got back to a bus stop and I decided to take a bus back to the hostel.

The decision to go into the medical field is one that should not be made based on the easy ability to find a job or a high salary, however. It is extremely hard work, with irregular and long hours, and you are constantly in a position to fulfill the demands of clients and patients

As a medical student, getting prepared and studying a lot is important as one of the fastest growing areas of employment today is the field of medical careers. Doctors should be responsible. As more people become aware of health in general, and show concern for the state of their own current and future health, the demand for professionals in this field increases. The demand for health professionals is also increasing due to the fact that the nation’s largest population, the baby boom generation, is rapidly approaching old age.

However, the field of medicine is not limited to conventional medical occupations such as nurses and physicians. There is also an increased interest in the field of alternative, or holistic medicine, especially as people are tending to turn away from traditional methods of healing.

As the modern medicine is developing nowadays, the diagnostic methods of diseases are also improving, especially of the ultrasound technology. Being a sonographer is also good prospect career. Students can opt to study in ultrasound tech schools everywhere in the States. The ultrasound technician schools provide good conducive environment for study and sophisticated instruments.
