I knew since I was young I always wanted to work in a health care field. I believe it was my calling to take care of sick people. This is why I chose a health professional career as a respiratory therapist. I have been a therapist for nearly four years. I enjoyed every aspect of being a therapist in a hospital. As a therapist, I treat people who suffer from lung illness which could derive from asthma, congestive heart failure, COPD, emphysema and etc. As a respiratory therapist, I educate people about there respiratory disease. I tell them about there disease and what they can do to improve there daily life. What I like most about being a therapist is interaction with patients. I liked getting to know the patient and see what I can do to make there day better. From assessing patient, I can determine if this person is in respiratory distress and if so what kind of distress. As a therapist, I enjoyed working with other health care professionals such as nurses, physicians, and physician assistants. I let them know I am very dependable and to notify me of any problems or concerns with their patient, not matter how little or serious it is. I believe it is best to have open communication with co-workers in order to provide excellent patient care.
At this point in my life, I believe I am ready to pursue a career as a physician assistant. I have accomplished so much as a respiratory therapist. Now it is time to take the next step. I work with physican assistant for couple of years. I wasn't interested in being a physician assistant until the day I observe the duties of physician assistant in the emergency room. I was told to give a patient a nebulizer tx (breathing treatment) by physician assistant. I went to the patient room and there was the physician assistant asking her patient several questions about his medical history. We were practically working the same time on that patient. I was giving the pt his tx. The physician assistant was assessing the pt and giving a full explanation on what is going to be done for him. At home, I looked up physician assistant on the internet. At that point, I was completely enthralled about my findings. A physician assistant performs examination and procedure, obtains medical history from pt, order treatment, diagnose illness, prescribe medication and etc. I knew I wanted to be a health care specialist who has more responsibility and more patient interaction. As a therapist, I did have patient interaction but it was very limited due to the fact I had multiple patient I had to take care of. I didn't always have time to speak with a pt for extended time. It was basically just follow the MD's order and treat the pt.
In conclusion, I have always believed it was my destiny to treat and take care of sick people. It something I will continue to do until I retired. I enjoyed being a respiratory therapist for the last three years. However, I think it is time for me to pursue a new course and challenge in the medical field. I believe I would make an excellent physician assistant due to my compassion for patient care.
