Today I had my personality and profession development class, unusually a new lecturer came for the slot to lecture.
He started with jokes and gained applause and laughter from the whole class.
Then, along with his jokes
He asked everyone one question which no one thought of answering.
"What the soul or essence of medical profession ?"
After a long silence from my batch mates, he said he will come to it by discussing a story.
The story is about
A 34 year old mother who just gave birth and still breastfeeding the child received a shocking news stating that she has been diagnosed with breast cancer from her physician.
Devastated, and filled with other emotional torments, she then goes for mastectomy and chemotherapy which had brought her continued physical and emotional sufferings. She only want to focus on get cured and live her life.
The cancer reappeared and metastasis to her vital organs.
More devastated and trembled with what has fallen on her.
She opted for other options which no other than stronger dosage of what she had went through earlier.
After all physical and emotional tortures, she passed away in her sleep alone with the medical machines, tubes, wire and strangers and away from her loved ones.
The story has been made short by me.
The sir continued asking does she deserve it and why she has to die repeatedly to us.
Then he said the essence of medical profession is no other than understanding physical sufferings.
Why man is suffering?
Because he has a body.
He not only undergoes physical sufferings but also emotional sufferings.
Because humans have a mind.
That point has caught me thinking.
Then he added,
The science of medicine is how to cure the physical sufferings.
For example giving medicine and treatments for pains and diseases.
The art of medicine is to cure the emotional sufferings.
Because the patient has a lot to go through when he is diagnosed with a illness for example the story.
Therefore, whoever pursuing a medical profession should bear in their mind that they not only treating the body but also the mind.
