I used to work as an EMT and in my personal statement for AMCAS, I mention patients by their name and entail how caring for them made me lean more towards becoming a doctor one day. In the essay I say the patient's name and talk of their condition. Is this breaking any laws or ethical or moral issues? I was thinking if this is wrong, that I can just talk about the patients that I treated and how they effected me without telling their names. I just thought that by naming them, it points out in some way that these people were so memorable that I remembered their names out of all of my patients.
I feel that the stories of these patients are very important to the flow and the plot of my essay and excluding them is not an option.
I would appreciate any imput I receive from my fellow SDNrs.
Thanks and good luck to all.
