Respect towards life

After having the first dissection practical, it allows to further realise the weight and responsibility of being a future doctor. Being a doctor is not just about treating diseases, it is also about the respect towards life and the determination and passion of us being the future medical professionals to save and honour the meaning of life. To prepare myself better for the future anatomy practicals. I decide to study more and make sure that I have a clear understanding about the anatomical structures that we are going to dissect in the coming session, as it is a respect that we pay to our 'silent teacher' and Great Body Teacher who donate their bodies for us to learn. It allows me to realise the efforts paid by the whole society in nurturing future doctors like us, thus, it strength us my determination to become a good doctor in the future to help and serve these who suffer from pain and illness.
