I am a student who is trying to get into a medical college and I was desperately searching for a reason to keep going forward...the ending of this video brought tears in my eyes, a smile on my face and a reminder of why I should not give up now. Thank you doctor!☺

It’s an amazing and very respected career, I which you overcoming these kind of feelings. I can feel the pressure of being a doctor but ultimately everyone knows for sure that happiness come from helping others and there is nothing like curing sick people and uplifting their hopes in life.
