She was bound by IV lines to the center of a bleak mattress. I was old enough to understand death, but not intellectually mature enough to grasp the nuances of it. I looked at my great grandmother lying, lifeless and empty. She was the closest person I knew to die. However, I did not feel any indignation because she and I had accepted the fact she was passing. I then asked myself: Why? Not in a sense of questioning my faith; I was questioning the circumstances and exact causes of her death. There were so many questions that could be asked about something as deceivingly simple as a hundred pounds of flesh and water.
To me the concept of medicine and healthcare answers the most perplexing questions and predicts the outcomes of one's life. The only association I had early in my life with medicine were my trips to the doctor. Even there I was amazed at the knowledge and precision that my doctor had. Later on in my schooling, around junior high school, I learned subjects that dealt with life and its processes. Those science classes drew my interests in medicine even further. I was learning about different parts of the body and what they did. Though, it was not until high school when I reached the paramount of my interest in medicine.
In high school, I had an affinity for two particular subjects: Chemistry and Biology. All the nuances in them screamed medicine. Those two subjects fostered my interests enough to cause me to select medicine as my career path. I made my decision known to my family and my teachers and they told me they would support me. During the summer after my Junior year of high school, enrolled in a Nursing Assistant class in order to supplement that path. The class taught me so much. Pretty soon I was searching for diseases and medicines online for fun.
The field of medicine is a complex topic but an exciting one. In my mind it is a big problem solving subject with lots of variables. The goal is to find the definite truth, be it a cure, diagnosis, or symptom.
