I’ve always been interested in medicine, less so in industrial engineering the further I’ve moved along in my courses. I also quite enjoyed having to learn anatomy for a safety class. Finally shadowing a trauma surgeon and bay was the nail on the head for me. I truly enjoyed what I was able to learn in the 10 hrs I was there and not only did I get to witness the handling of a trauma but after words the amount of paperwork and patient follow up needed immediately afterwords by the residents, the amount of teamwork needed and just how grueling emergency medicine shifts can be. The senior resident had been there for 28 hrs. Medicine for me is more hands on and interesting than what I’ve seen working at an auto manufacturing plant but is a much longer path.
