Meeting a man living with HIV and listening to him
discussing his illness really shocked me and made me
remember the reason why I chose to become a doctor.
This experience helped me when I met a girl with cystic
fibrosis….. the girl said that she knew there was not
much time left for her and there was not a lot doctors
could do for her. This made me feel angry and sad
because I really wanted to help her but I knew I
couldn’t.
