Brief information about being a doctor…

A doctor is a person who makes people feel better. When people get sick they go to the doctor so he/she could tell them why and makes them healthier. There are

many kinds of doctors, with many kinds of jobs. A doctor has its

specific job, one could be for skin problems, and the other maybe for

stomach problems. So what ever thing a doctor may do, it is helping people and makes them feel better.

What are the day to day activities of being a doctor??

If I want to be a doctor I will have to work long hours, at all times of day and night.

About 60 hours a week. I will also have to rush because there is always an emergency.

I will have to deal with infections and viruses, and gross things like blood.

The essentials needed are……

1• Verbal communication skills. A doctor needs to

be able to speak clearly, hear well and observe patients to effectively diagnose their ailments.

2• Motor skills. Doctors need to have a high degree of

hand-eye skills to be able to safely and effectively examine patients, use instruments like the sphygmomanometer, stethoscope, otoscope and ophthalmoscope, as well as a wide range of diagnostic equipment.

3• Intellectual skills. As a doctor, you’ll need to be able to

calculate, analyze, and quantify information vital to the health care of your patients. Problem-solving must be done in a timely fashion, and under sometimes stressful conditions.

4• Social skills. To effectively care for

patients, doctors must be emotionally healthy, mature, sensitive and honest.

5 •Observational skills. To work effectively as a doctor, you’ll need to be able to observe demonstrations in complex procedures by teachers and other physicians, and accurately observe patients so that you can assess and evaluate patients’ conditions.

6• Physical skills. Healthcare involves a lot of

walking and standing, and you’ll sometimes be required to maneuver patients in or out of bed, into chairs, onto gurneys and even up off the floor.

7• Written skills. Doctors must be able to note patient

information on charts, make notes about medications and patient behavior, leave easy-to-comprehend notes for nurses, pharmacists and aides, and write detailed care plans for patients.

8• Computer skills. Your schooling will involve a

certain degree of computer use in labs and when writing papers.

9• Continuing education skills. The knowledge of

your profession won't stop when you graduate from medical school.

10• Business skills. Whether you choose to practice

in a hospital or a private care setting, your ability to understand basic business procedures is essential, especially in light of the paperwork required by the insurance industry.

If I have these skills, then I will be a great doctor……

Will I be able to get it???

If I study hard and get good marks I can get any job I want. Some people say that

being a doctor takes a lot of studying and many years, and at the same time it is a beautiful job, so if I want it I will have to

work hard to get it and hope to be a great doctor….. And who knows maybe, in the

future, I will have my own hospital.

How much is the salary???

It depends on the years of experience……..

Less than 1 year: $27,0001-4 years: $28,3745-9 years: $30,77910-19 years: $31,01520-plus years: $35,596

I think that being a doctor is a great choice and I hope everyone thinks that’s too….. I will try to

work hard in my future so when I grow up I could be a doctor and help people. And the reason why I

chose to be a doctor is because I love to help people, especially children….. And who knows

maybe when I grow up I will be a children doctor.
