I think I watched too much Bugs Bunny on Looney Tunes when I was young and the "what's up doc?" just stuck with me...
undignified said:the last post i did talked about God.. and how he is a personal and a living God. My desire to be a doctor is to not only talk about him, but to let him use me in areas that need medicine, but it seems to me like a bunch of the ppl in this forum (or just the ones that replied to my thread), don't care much about God SO........
Why do you want to be a doctor?
(p.s. sry if it sounds like ranting)
tell nopdm about it.. go to the Gen res forum..Steiner said:I work in an expensive restaurant, and noticed all these pharmaceutical companies bringing in doctors to eat whatever they want all the time. I want the M.D. to get as many of those free fancy dinners as possible. They better not hold back on the liquor either. Open bar or I don't come.

shoyt said:I want to become a doctor to do mission work in Africa. As a Christian, one of my central beliefs is that only through Jesus can people get to heaven. Therefore, I want to help people physically and spiritually--help heal their bodies and their souls with the good news of Jesus.
I know it is very unpopular to tell others about Jesus as if it were "cramming God down their throats", but it really isn't "cramming God down their throats". Telling others about Jesus is primarily sharing your story of how Jesus personally changed your life and how you know that when you die you'll be in heaven with Him forever. As a doctor and a Christian, I'd feel it inhumane to only treat people physically when their eternal souls are in danger so I will always try to help people spiritually by sharing Jesus with them somehow--I will certainly listen to their story and find out where they are coming from and will not "cram God down their throats". Yes it is wrong to force religion on people or to try to pressure them to believe but I feel it is not only right but it is my duty to share the eternal life-saving news of Jesus with everyone I can....it's about sharing my faith and it is their choice whether or not they want to believe it. Here's a quote I really like to conclude my thoughts:
"If you found a cure for cancer, wouldn't it be inconceivable to hide it from the rest of mankind? How much more inconceivable to keep silent the cure [Jesus] from the eternal wages of death." -Dave Davidson
mvenus929 said:Very interesting reason for going into medicine. What will you do when you meet someone that was a Christian and decided to convert to something else? Just curious.
I love medicine. I love to learn. I can't see myself in any other field. I'm still soul searching for the rest .

I can imagine it was a bit challenging for you to stretch that particular sentiment into a personal statement!! Ha Ha!!aashiq said:I dont know why i wanna do it. i just want to do it
dopaminesurge said:I totally thought that was a diamong ring.
Ok, so I'll add that I want to go to med school so I can meet a fella to put a huge diamond ring on my finger.

LeikiLaniAhAh said:Well, after completeing a perfectly worthless degree in English, I worked for a while in a mindless office job. I spent most of my days there searching the internet for other career options. I knew I needed a job that would bring money and respect. I ruled out getting an MBA becasue I HATE office work and didn't want to be an entrepeneur. Lawyers have to do WAY too much writing. I know I would get bored working with computers., ... It was a process of elimination really. Not to mention I had just started dating this guy in med school, and I'm not the kind of girl who ever wanted to be some doctors trophy wife, so back to school I went. Here I am today... up to my ears in secondaries, and waking up most mornings going, "Holy cow! Did I really just apply to MEDICAL SCHOOL? What was I thinking?!" The funny thing is, I really don't like working with people AT ALL, but I am realllly realllllllly good at it. What do you do, I guess. Its not my fault I'm good at something I dont like and horrible at all the things I love to do. My boyfriend is the only person who knows my true motives, and he strongly dissaproves. The thing is, its just a freakin career choice. I've never been crazy about any job I've ever had, that dosen't mean I can just not work. So why the heck not go to med school, I say. good times
