The Journey Of Life

Career

"MY PROFESSION"

Someone asked me what is my work,
I raise my head and smile as I look around.
"I am watching people from their birth to death"
She laugh at me for what I've just said.
"You're one of the burden then, in this world",
She said as she look at me with eyes bored.

I remember the day when I took my oath,
The promised I've kept,the responsibility I have,
I will keep them as long as I live.
The word of wisdom I utter and healing hand,
They were all gift coming from above,
To give back to his people that he love.

As I wear my white uniform with nameplate,
my patients look at me with hope and faith,
That I can ease the sufferings they undertake.
I carry the most scary responsibility,
That most of the people thought it was easy,
Because they don't know what is my duty.

Hearing the babies first cry after birth,
Looking at their mothers smile and relief,
That give me so much joy for i see them safe.
Witnessing a dying patient Infront of me,
People crying and begging to save their family,
That melts my heart when I can't guarantee.

When you hear the ambulance siren,
And the emergency bell rings anywhere,
You can see me running with E-kit at hand.
Sometimes you will shout and curse me,
When I did something to save your enemy,
'Coz you don't know that its my responsibility.

When you got sick and see me in white,
With a smile I take your vital signs,
you even glare at me with those angry eyes.
You don't know how heavy I am feeling now,
I am taking care of you and others,
While even my family is in need of my care.

When you were admitted until discharge,
I am there to assure that you're already fine.
"Thank you for a job well done" you said,
That make my heart tremble in gladness.
You hold my hand and look with happiness,
"What a lot patience you have to take".

Even I can't eat my meals on time,
Even I can't sleep and can't have fun,
Even I can't be with my loveones,
I'm thankful in helping patients to be calm,
To be healthy and safe all the time,
And live their life with love, care and smile.

Being a person who have given the opportunity to enter into ones life, will never be easy. Mistakes is not acceptable because we are handling human life. People sometimes curse us,shout us and even lay their hands in us, when we can't do anything for their love ones, not knowing that even us is breaking into pieces because we also experience losing our loveones.

We are responsible for what we Call "precious life",where there is no room for doubts,fear, sympathy and mistakes. Every millisecond is worth it most especially for the patients fighting for their life. People don't know how frustrated and disappointed we're feeling because of losing one patient. We can't even choose our own family because that is our call for duty and a responsibility that some people tend not to recognize.

Being a health care provider needs a flexible personality coz we are communicating with different people with unique behaviors. It's not just for our salary,it's not just for the position but it's for us to SAVE LIFE. Every second is worth a life, it's not just an interventions,procedures but it's a passion in rendering a quality care & saving of life.
