Hello sdn!
So I had a question. I have suffered from epilepsy since I was 13(i only had seizures max four times total in my life however since im on medication) which caused me to be going to the hospital a lot with MRIs and check ups and such. I was thinking about writing how this inspired me to want to become a doctor because I want to be the one on the other side of the table you know? Is this a good idea to write about?
Another option I had was writing about the anorexia and anemia I struggled with since I was about 16 I believe. It has been an on and off again thing as I recover for a couple years and then relapse. This would also explain why my freshman year of undergrad grades were a bit lower than they could have been. I recovered, retook the classes sophomore year and got much better grades. I feel like I have more material with this topic as I was always surrounded by doctors all the time because they were afraid I wasn't going to make it. Sorry if this is all sappy but going through something like this and having the doctors save my life really opened my eyes on what it takes and how important doctors are.
Basically, I just wanted to know which is a better topic to write about. I know mental illnesses are taboo so I just wanted to know your thoughts!
Thank You!
