Doctor – The Noble Profession



If you think that you are an integrated person trying to help other people by being understanding and caring but also knowledgeable, prepared, and ready to give your best – not to save lives but to make them as good as possible then you can consider it to be a Doctor.
Being a doctor means being incredibly compulsive. It has nothing to do with flights of medicine, it is one of the most challenging yet rewarding fields a student can enter. This career is not for everyone as doctors have a lot of responsibility and require huge investments of time, money, effort on their training.
Doctor’s Duties and Responsibilities:
·        Undertaking patient consultations and physical examinations
·        Organising workloads
·        Performing surgical procedures
·        Providing general pre and post-operative care
·        Monitoring and administering medication
·        Assessing and planning treatment requirements
·        Liaising daily with staff including other doctors, non-medical management staff and healthcare professionals
·        Writing and maintaining records
·        Promoting health education
·        Teaching and supervising trainee doctors
Key Skills of a doctor:
·        Ability to work long hours, often under pressure
·        Good practical skills
·        Ability to solve problems
·        Effective decision-making skills
·        Leadership and management skills
·        Communication skills, compassion and a good bedside manner
·        Drive to continue learning throughout career
·        Analytical ability
·        Time management


Essential Personality Traits of a Doctor:
·        Compassion – Doctors are not a robot. They’re not just there to insensitively deliver prognoses or mechanically perform complex surgeries but they need heart, to understand the patient’s problem and empathetic to their needs, so they should act courtesy and compassion to cure them holistically.
·        Strong work ethics – a doctor is always expected to dedicate 100% of them to their work everyday, regardless being tired and neglecting their personal priorities over their patients is always expected from them.
·        Professionalism – simply slipping on a white coat won’t command respect from your patients, rather it is earned by giving them attention, patience, satisfactory results to them.
·        Knowledge – attaining a degree is not enough, rather every new day come up with a new challenge, you should have the proper knowledge to accept it as a challenge to combat it with a smile and appropriate knowledge to learn from daily challenges.
·        Confidence – a doctor is always treated next to God, so they should reinforce their knowledge with confidence to give an assurance of cure to their patient.
·        Humility – Humility and confidence work as a complementary pair. With your patients and colleagues, you must be approachable and available, despite time limitations and over-scheduling, satisfaction and health should be on the first priority.
·        Passion – a doctor is not just working for the salary but the passion to serve mankind, their passion makes them disciplined and willing to sacrifice other opportunities to better their career.
If you are dedicated to improving the lives of others and can spend long nights hovering over patient charts, then you are planning to the right profession.
