My First Career Experience
Perhaps the greatest challenge I have faced during my undergraduate years was entering hospital as a medic. Even now, I still remember the things which happened to me the first day I went into the gynecological department. Wearing our new white gowns, my teacher and I began to diagnose and treat patients at eight o'clock in the morning. At the beginning, several patients came here and my teacher got very busy. After each patient's case history had been asked, they were examined in the examination room. As for me, I only paid attention to how my teacher wrote down the medical records and never went into the examination room. Half an hour later, my teacher began to communicate with me.
“Why don't you come into the examination room?”she asked.
(I was a man of few words and I would blush if I met a girl, let alone having to do a gynecological examination.) “I think it's too embarrassing,”I answered.
“But you can't forget that you are a doctor. If you are shy, you are not able to practice in this department,”she said seriously.
At that moment, I felt very confused. Just ten minutes later another patient came, when my teacher was preparing to examine her, I hesitated to walk into the entrance of the room. “Please help me － give me the medical gloves.” My teacher had noticed me.I had to get into the room and pass her the gloves. She asked the patient to take off her dress, but the patient refused.
“Why not taking off your dress?” my teacher asked.
“I think that man should go away”, she pointed at me.
“Never mind, he is our successor as well as a doctor in our hospital.”
Quite obediently, the patient took off her dress and we finished the examination. To my surprise, my teacher asked me to conduct the examination by myself when the next patient came. Under much stress I entered the examination room and pretended to be experienced. In fact, I was so nervous that my heart was beating very fast. I tried my best to calm down.
“Have you ever examined any patients before? You seem to be very young.” The patient asked.
“Yes, I have worked here for two years and I will do my best to examine you .If there is any question, I will consult that old doctor. We are always responsible for every patient.”
Hearing my words, the patient seemed to be relaxed, and I continued the examination successfully. Going out of the room, I told all this to my teacher and she was satisfied with me.
Sometimes a man must force himself to do something that he doesn't like to; only in this way can he make great progress.
