Anyone who goes to the farm needs some type of physical help or
They are patients. But I must also say that everyone who comes takes care
at some point in taking care of others, whether cooking, cleaning them or doing
a task as simple as listening... what makes them Doctors: I use the
term in a broad sense because isn't a doctor someone who helps another?
Such reverence is never given to the term 'Doctor' as when you say 'Oh! go ahead.'

Doctor Patterson, but your flatulence doesn't smell. At what point in history
he has been a doctor more than just a trusted scholar, who visited and treated the
sick? He asked me if I have practiced medicine, well, if it means to open the
door to those in need, to those who suffer, care for them, listen to them and apply a cloth to them
cold until the fever drops, if that is practicing medicine, if that is treating a
Patient, yes I am guilty of the charges, Sir.

What is wrong with death, Lord? What are we so mortal scared of?
why not treat death with certain doses of humanity, dignity, decency, and, if
there is no other remedy, with humor? Death is not the enemy, gentlemen. If we are going to
fight against the disease let's do it against one of the worst that exists, the
indifference.
I have attended classes and I have heard professors sermonize about the transfer and the
professional distancing. The transfer is inevitable sir, every human being
it has an impact on another. Why not do the same in a relationship between doctor
And patient? I have heard your teachings and they are wrong. The mission of a
medicine should not be limited to preventing death, but also to improving
quality of life; therefore, if it is a disease, it is won or lost, if it is treated to
One person, I can guarantee you that you always win, no matter the outcome!
This room is full of medical students, do not let them be anesthetized, nor
they become insensitive to the wonderful gift of life, always feel reverence
through the glorious mechanism of the human body. Make that the focus of your
studies and not the set of subjects and grades that will never reflect the class of a doctor
What are they going to become! And don't wait to practice in the hospital to recover your
humanity, practice your skills to relate, talk to strangers, talk to
friends, talk to strangers on the phone, with everyone and cultivate friendship
with those wonderful people who are always found at the back of the room:
nurses who can teach them. They spend the whole day with the sick, cleaning the
blood and excrement, but they have a lot of knowledge that can be useful to them,
like the teachers they respect, those whose dignity is above
Above all, share that compassion, let it infect you.

Sir, I wish to be a doctor with all my heart. I wanted to become a doctor in order to
to serve others, and because of that I have lost everything. But I have also gained everything.
I have shared the lives of patients and hospital staff members. I have laughed with
they and cried with them. And that is what I want to do with my life. I put God first
witness, that whatever your decision is today, I have decided to become the best
doctor who has known the world. You have the ability to prevent me from
I graduated, they can prevent me from getting the degree and the white coat, but they cannot
control my spirit, they cannot prevent me from learning and they cannot prevent me from
I studied. Now you can choose to have me as a professional colleague, passionate, or
like a marginalized person with no filter but still inflexible. In both cases
Maybe they still consider me a thorn, but I promise you one thing, I am a thorn.
