Dear colleagues,
If you want to be a doctor to get rich, then immediately pack your belongings.Perhaps the economics faculty is more appropriate to educate you to be a wealthy businessman,
Instead you have to sacrifice your own patient and family in pursuit of wealth.
If you want to be a doctor to get a high social position in society, revered and deified, then please go back to Egypt thousands of years ago and become pharaohs there. Instead of you here have to be arrogant and condescending people around you just to impress you the most valuable.
If you want to be a doctor to make it easier to find a mate or attract the attention of prospective in-laws, maybe you better go and take a look for the celebrities that will orbit the agency so that it becomes your idol of the female artist. Instead you hide behind a mask and dapper white suit, while you are neglectful of the true meaning of a doctor.
Doctors are not created for it, man.
Choosing to be a doctor is not just to be stylish with BMW's latest release, not just to be looking gorgeous with white coat of pride, not just so the neighbors bowed respectfully when they see us through.
Choosing to be a doctor is to choose the path of devotion. Serving the communities that are still familiar with famine and malnutrition. Serving the community who still frequented the shaman when had high fever.
Choosing to be a doctor is to choose the path of empathy, when we embrace and gently strengthen an old man who recently lost his son due to malaria.
Choose the path of becoming a doctor is to choose the path of humanity, when we moved to devote ourselves in a medical team of disaster management for a free of charge.
Choose the path of becoming a doctor is to choose the path of caring, when we are stuck in a long prostration, prostrations, pray for healing and happiness with our patients.
Choosing to be a doctor is to choose a way of sharing, when a pedicab driver to cry in front of us because they do not have the money to pay the hospital costs of dengue-affected children. Then with a beautiful smile world has ever seen, we patted his shoulder and said, "do not cry anymore, sir, I help pay."
Choosing to be a doctor is to choose the path of compassion, as with all our love gently stroking the hair of a child with leukemia and whispered softly in his ear, "dear child, do you want me to tell you a tale?"
Choose the path of becoming a doctor is to choose the path of rigor, when a pharmaceutical company promises big commissions for the sales target medicines, and keeping us steady smile said, "sorry, I can not betray my conscience and my patients''
Choosing a doctor is to choose the path of sacrifice, at midnight of the village next door neighbor frantically knocked on the door of our house because of her fever and convulsions. Then we started to leave with the sincere warmth of true consent and go through the dark and cold night.
Choosing to be a doctor is to choose the path of another steep climb to reach our ideals. No, not wealth or human respect that we seek. But the pleasure of God is what we always strive for.
Well, choosing a doctor is to choose the path to heaven, a place where doctors are no longer necessary to have ...
PS:This is not a provocation to be a poor doctor, nor to say that doctors do not have respect or other worldly things. This paper is just an advice to myself and colleagues all to realign our intention in becoming a doctor. Because each practice depends on his intentions. Please become rich, please be honorable, just do not that's our goal. Doctors are too low if it is intended only for worldly gains alone. It may be very difficult to hold these ideals closely later. But I'm sure, if there is a strong will and the right intentions, these ideals will carry over to death. Although it must be alone in the fight, although many are mocking and demeaning. I am sure, God will never misjudged every effort and struggle of His servants. Never will.
