Week 10: Interview someone from your industry and explain their experiences.

 

For this blogpost I interviewed my father as he is a physician as well. My dad is my hero and I have learned a lot from him. He also has given me great advice on how to achieve my goals and he has given me a scope of what this industry is like. I first asked him what he liked most about being a physician. He answered by saying that the most enjoyable part is going home feeling like you actually did something good by helping people with their ailments. He said it’s a feeling that never gets old and he believes he chose this field for the sense of fulfillment. I then asked him how he copes with the loss of a patient. He told me that it is the hardest part of being a doctor. You get attached to the patients and it becomes extremely difficult. I know myself and I am sure I will get very attached to my patients. It’s hard not to when you’re trying to do what you can to help a person. Lastly, I asked my father if he could change anything about what he does what would it be. He simply said, “Nothing.”
