first of all you have to become a doctor dude.
I volunteer in a refugee camp clinic, I work under the supervision of Doctors and I am responsible for performing certain tests and give medication. If I perform them wrong, and give the wrong reading.. this can affect the Doctor's prognosis... if I incorrectly explain to the patients how to take their medication and how much to take.. this can result in possible death... if I mishear what medication to give and give the wrong one... I can kill them. When you're in a small clinic with 50 people screaming wanting to be seen by a Doctor with the smell of sweat all over... when you've been working for the last 8 hours and haven't taken a seat... it's possible to make a mistake.. and to my knowledge I have not made that mistake yet and i'm proud of that.
Anyway, be jealous in another thread. Because it won't change that my biggest fear is to kill somebody, specifically a patient of mine (in the future, when I become a Doctor) happy skinny boi?
edit: Millions of people die yearly as a result of physician error , errors that could have easily been avoided. But being understaffed, underfunded, overworked --- Doctors will ultimately make mistakes because they are also only human. And you can not know what pressure is until you have to take care of 15 patients when you're just one person... and all this in 6 hours when each patient is diverse and different.. some easy going, some very hard headed. I am a victim and witness of Doctors making mistakes that lead to death and/or serious complications.
You idiot, if you can not see why i'd have this fear then you are a jealous freak. I don't want to put any (future) patient of mine (when i become a Doctor) through what i've gone through.. through what some family members have gone through as a result of a simple mistake.
