As a practicing physician for many years, what advice would you give to medical students?

My advice to medical students is to study well and acquire solid basic knowledge; and be careful and be prepared to suffer.

I. To be a good doctor, you should study well during the student stage.

To become a good doctor should be in the stage of learning to study well, a firm grasp of the basics, so that from the medical later to be able to better serve the patient. If you're in medical school and you're just muddling through, then you're going to have a very tiring time in the future when you embark on the path of medicine.

For example, you may not be able to see some of the patient's symptoms, or you may not know what medicines to prescribe. This will not only put pressure on your work, but also delay the patient's treatment, and in serious cases there may be medical malpractice, which is a responsibility you cannot afford. Therefore, it is important to build a good foundation and learn well so that you can become a qualified doctor.

Two, as a doctor should be careful, to be responsible for the patient.

As a doctor is careful to have, for example, prescribe this thing, if you are not careful, a little hand shaking, may be prescribed the wrong medicine. The seriousness of the consequences of prescribing the wrong medicine needless to say we all know. The consequences of prescribing the wrong medicine, they are responsible for.

Third, to be prepared for the appropriate psychological preparation.

Some students in medical school to study the doctor's job is full of fantasy, the doctor's job in the eyes of outsiders is really more bright and shiny. However, there is a side of the doctor that some people don't know, and that is that the doctor's work is also very hard and very stressful. For example, doctors are not able to go to work like normal people, and sometimes they have to work night shifts, as well as encountering some emotional patients may make a fuss over you, or some patients who do not understand your family members may do all kinds of extreme things. The company's goal is to prepare you for this, so that you will be able to adapt better to the work after you enter the post.
