Thanks a lot !
Hospitals are my vacation homes, except my vacations are not always fun or exciting. When I was born, I was diagnosed with severe asthma and allergies to numerous substances. Due to my weak immune system, I spent a considerable amount of my childhood going in and out of hospitals. I hated getting shots and taking large pills, so I thought of my visits to hospitals as vacations because I always returned home as a happier and healthier person. Because of my asthma, I couldn't play outside like other kids, I couldn't eat ice cream or drink anything cold, and I couldn't participate in any sports. Having lived through such painful experiences, I aspire to become a doctor who can help other people achieve better health.
I was born a premature baby with very weak immune system; in order to keep me alive, doctors prescribed large doses of Prednisolone and other supporting medicines. Possible side effects include fluid retention of the face, acne, and constant mood swings. I was kept in the hospital for a month after I was born because my weight was below average for newborns and my lungs were not functioning correctly. After I was taken home, my health did not improve, so I entered the hospital again six months later after a severe asthma attack. For the years succeeding, I visited the hospital regularly due to my unstable health. My stays would last for weeks and sometimes even months. I hated it.
During my stays in the hospital, I would observe other patients that were in the same room. Some were in there for the same reason, but others were experiencing more pain than I could have imagined. I was often wakened during my sleep because someone was crying due to the pain he or she was suffering. I wanted to help them, but I couldn't. Other than asthma, I also encountered two seizures when I was younger. To this day I still don't know why I had seizures, but I want to find out.
After moving to the United States, my health conditions have improved dramatically; I am now able to participate in sports and other activities. With my improved health, I want to help others in need and relieve them from illness and related troubles. I believe that my past experiences with asthma and other sicknesses will help me in becoming a better doctor because I know how it feels to be kept away from experiencing all the fun that life is meant for.
