"I think my greatest asset is my creative ability and being able to express myself through art. It helps me maintain my sanity and is my peace in this chaos. I think my art plays an important role in my understanding of anatomy as those diagrams I drew have stuck through and made me a better doctor."
It is a common notion that medical school is hard and draining, for me the challenges began much before that.
I had acquired my seat through the sports quota as I played lawn tennis nationals unfortunately they cut down my seat.
A four-month battle in the high court and having to sue the vice-chancellor and the university was how my medical journey started.
At this point, I had already taken a gap year and couldn’t afford to take another one and so I got enrolled at a dentistry school as a backup as medicine was always what I wanted to do.
My parents were both doctors and I had always dreamt of being one myself ever since I was a child.
I was passionate about helping people and enjoyed studying the body and how it functions.
However, my experience with getting into a medical college and my severe migraines left me with a bad experience in medical school where I was demotivated and had lost my purpose.
However, my internship at a government hospital reignited the sparks and reminded me why I liked being a doctor.
I am so grateful for my parents because they supported me all through my journey.
I think my greatest asset is my creative ability and being able to express myself through art. It helps me maintain my sanity in chaos.
I think my art plays an important role in my understanding of anatomy as those diagrams I drew have stuck through and made me a better doctor.
Now I also sell my art and hold exhibitions.
My advice to any upcoming healthcare professional would be to not waste time - every minute of your life and journey is important and every minute wasted is the loss of a beautiful experience. 🩹💊 #knyamedheroes
