I enjoy being a doctor. My businessmen, engineer and software friends might earn more than me. Bankers may have more benefits than me. But I still enjoy being a doctor because I can make someone better, because I can save a family, because I am part of a miracle many a times and because I am symbol of hope in despair.

My profession has given me enough. Being doctor I have more than enough money to raise my kids, have a decent house, enjoy little hobbies and my needs are met. I am also amongst the most intelligent and the top elite professionals in the world. I am thankful to all my patients who put their trust and faith in me and I wouldn't let them down. I am thankful to God that He helped me to gain skills, which now I can contribute and can have a meaning in someone's life.

Yes, it is stressful. I agree, I work very hard, without a doubt, I have many sleepless nights. I have worked days together without holidays, vacations or weekends. End of the day, it is my choice. I am leading a much easier life than those soldiers, army men, officers who stay in tents in snow, deserts and jungles and die every day for us, and what a shame they die unknown. They are doing a tremendous job as well. All professions have challenges but not all have such returns as this one. My profession has given a meaning to my life, it is my turn to justify that. I love being a doctor, actually I feel blessed being one!!!

This post is dedicated to all my medical colleagues and friends in medical profession who are doing a great job wherever they are and whatever might be the circumstances, they are surely making a difference in someone's life. Shalom!
