Hi, I’m a senior at High School and I want to be a doctor; maybe a surgeon. But I’m afraid of making mistakes and, instead of helping, cause more suffering to somebody. I don’t want to give up doing something that I want or change my career option, but this fear sometimes makes me question my choice. Is there any tip for me? If you’re a doctor, were you afraid in the beginning too?
Everyone is a little scared, it’s a big decision, but if you put your heart and mind to it, it’s definitely worth it. You’ll learn many things on the path of your medical education, and you’ll find that you’ll fall in love with medicine and helping those who need it!
