I believe that we should treat the patient as a whole, which includes their body, mind, and every aspect of their lives - including family. From the time I was a child, I always wanted to be a physician. Nothing makes me happier than knowing that I can be there to help someone through some of the worst moments of their lives and help them to heal. Caring for another soul is one of the greatest gifts. My father had heart disease during my entire life, and I went with him to many doctors appointments. During those appointments, I was always so fascinated by the science that helped my dad healthier. Those times were very influential on my decision to pursue a career in medicine.
