If someone is interested in medicine and also in physics and they like working with people and communicate well with others, I would strongly encourage them.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I have devoted much time and energy to helping medical physics in developing countries.
Practicing medicine is not only my vocation, it gives me an opportunity to continue to be in direct contact with people, to see them and hear their needs.
I found collaborating with congenial doctors about problems that physicists could help solve was very satisfying. I also like educating anybody who would listen!
People are interested in science, but they don't always know they're interested in science, and so I try to find a way to get them interested.
I think we learn from medicine everywhere that it is, at its heart, a human endeavor, requiring good science but also a limitless curiosity and interest in your fellow human being, and that the physician-patient relationship is key; all else follows from it.
I am not really sure how I got interested in medicine.
I would not encourage everyone to take up this profession. Not everyone is suited for any particular field.
One of the advantages of my profession is I come into contact with many people.
I trained in medicine after pursuing an academic career in the humanities, mainly because of my interest in the relationship between mind and body, and between mind and brain.
If I'm interested in what I'm doing, other people will be interested in it.
