Let me give you what I told my second son, the internist.
“Successful person Is”
Parents, siblings are healthy and happy,
There is no shame when I cry to heaven and earth,
Live a life that is an example to others.
You can help others mentally, psychologically and economically.
You can love God and be loved,
Having healthy self-esteem
There is no shortage of food, clothing, shelter and health,
People who have someone by their side who can give and receive unconditional true love are said to be happy and successful people.
“The Doctor Should”
Do not hurt the patient’s feelings,
Do no harm economically;
Do no physical harm;
Do no moral harm,
Do no sexual harm.
Treat patients with love, like your own body, like your family.
In other words, treat patients with “First, Do No Harm.”
Besides that
Doctors should practice with the 5Cs and 3As.
With compassion and consideration
Concerned about the patient’s problems
Communicate well with patients
Treat well
Not only do we treat patients well, but we also take care of their families.
Have sufficient medical ability and knowledge
Comfortable, humble and affordable,
Provides good diagnosis, treatment and follow-up treatment
You must become a doctor with availability so that you can help patients whenever they need it.
Pediatrician Should be as followings,
A child’s favorite doctor,
A doctor who can be evaluated as a good doctor by patint’s mother.
He was also evaluated as a good doctor by the child’s father.
He was praised as a good doctor by the child’s grandmother.
A pediatrician who can be a regular pediatrician from the time a child is born until the child is 18 to 21 years old.
Then, you will be called a medical doctor, doctor, or doctor.
Patients come in large numbers at any time.
But doctors cannot become millionaires.
We are looking for doctors like this in Africa, too.
Looking for it in Korea too
Looking for it in the US too
Heaven is also looking you .
It is truly difficult to become a good doctor.
I tried so hard to become a doctor.
Although it is late, I would like to thank the 1993 Connecticut Korean Association board members, presidents, executives, branch presidents, scholarship committee members, advisors, and Korean residents who elected me as the president of the Connecticut Korean American Society..
Thank you all.
