Quality medicine is what everyone without exception aspires to. We would like to see professionalism, empathy in this industry… The list of our inquiries can be endless, but let’s not forget that good doctors are sleepless nights, years of long training, dedicated work and great responsibility. On the Day of the Medical Worker, we talked about the way to the dream profession, the first difficulties and dreams with the student Angela Jur, who will soon join the ranks of medical workers

«The impetus for entering the medical college was the desire to save lives, give people hope for healing, to help deal with mental and physical illnesses. I want to become a lifeguard… I am attracted to caring for the sick: it is becoming more and more interesting to learn about how to help patients. And it’s interesting to listen to human stories, stories about life…»

«Since childhood, I treated cats and dogs, and often spilled greens or hydrogen peroxide (laughs). Gradually I came to understand that I want to be a part of the medical world. The choice fell on the medical case. At one time I was very influenced by the film about Dr. House: I wanted to try myself as a specialist. At times it seemed to me that this is not a movie, but real life… This eccentric character has become a guide to the world of medicine for me»

«The first day of school was confusing – it was difficult to understand what awaits in adulthood. I was strengthened by my parents, who came to the ceremonial line. It definitely added confidence, it was important to feel that you are not alone – the closest people… At first I got used to my reflection in the mirror, where I was in a white coat. Now on the contrary: accustomed, and without form as if and uncomfortable»

«It was difficult to study under quarantine restrictions, everyone was very tired. But the situation was definitely saved by the fact that teachers made every effort to get us used to the new format of learning and absorb information better. The college has its own cloud storage, which contains all the necessary information for learning, homework and test assignments. Everything was thought out and systematized. Who wanted to learn – studied»

«Probably the most difficult thing was to master the practical part of medical sciences. After all, you need to learn to practically provide first aid and improve skills in caring for the sick»

«I hope to work in one of the best medical institutions in the city or country after graduation. Foreign experience is also interesting – it is worth developing and implementing it in your country. I really want our medicine not to lag behind foreign, but even better»

«Now I almost do not read fiction – I prefer only professional. All in order to acquire new knowledge, to develop their own competence in the field. I do not read fiction about medicine in principle: every author tries to embellish the work of physicians, and I am faced with the fact that medical terms or definitions do not quite correspond to reality. Some moments are clearly hyperbolized, others – on the contrary»

«I am most interested in two areas of medicine – psychotherapy and surgery. Psychiatry provides an opportunity not only to study mental illness, but also to fight it. Surgery – to see the inner world in the literal sense. (Laughs) That is, in any case, I want to work with the inner world of man»

«A medical worker is a person with a certain set of qualities: patience, tolerance, desire to help, thirst for knowledge, compassion, balance, quick reaction. All this is a sign of a highly qualified specialist»

«I am glad that now is the Day of the Medical Worker is my holiday too. First of all, I wish all doctors health, interesting patients, and everything they wish for themselves. And let them say nice words more often – not only on holidays»
