Text: WHY I SHOULD LIKE TO BECOME A MEDICAL DOCTOR

When I finish from this school, I would like to study medicine in the university. I have nursed
this ambition right from childhood. I can remember when I was ill and was taken to a hospital when I
was twelve years old. I was fascinated by the activities and hospitality of the doctor who took care of
me on my sick bed. He so much endeared himself to me that there and then, I decided to study
medicine when I grow up.
Medicine, as a profession, commands great respect anywhere in the world. Medical doctors
are respected for being hospitable and kind. They are kind to their patients whom they tend like
seedlings, which must not be allowed to die. A medical doctor cannot afford to be unkind or cruel to
his patient as to allow his patient to suffer. He must be genial, good-natured and hospitable and must
have a good disposition towards his patient.

Furthermore, medicine is a business of saving lives. This makes the profession to be regarded
as the noblest service profession in the world. If there were no doctors many lives would be lost on
daily basic. Doctors are professionals with adequate knowledge of all parts of human body and one
cannot but be proud of belonging to such a profession. Doctor serves and contributes to humanity
more than any other professionals.
In addition to this, the medical profession is one of the most lucrative professions in the world.
It gives practitioners the opportunity to work for the government in the government hospitals and at
the same time engage in private practice. Therefore, it gives the practitioners the privilege to
establish their own hospitals and clinics, thereby making it possible for them to make a lot of money.
Moreover, the medical profession gives one the opportunity to meet a lot of people. It makes
one be influential and popular because, as a medical doctor, many people would want to be
associated with you. A patient whom you have treated in the hospital would always remember how
you helped him, and his family would forever be grateful to you. All these make a medical
1
 practitioner popular and influential in the society. Many people would want to respect him and his
opinion on any matter in the society.
The medical career has its occupational hazards too. The constant exposure to all sorts of
radiation and drugs may adversely affect the life of a doctor, leading to harmful complications in
later life. There is also the ever-present danger of infection through constant contact with disease
germs from patients. Quite often too, doctors are deprived of their leisure time when there is an
emergency. Sometimes, they are on call for twenty-four hours. Hence, only people who love
humanity and the medical profession for its own sake should take up medicine as a career.
