call a doctor

I recently realized the enormity of the task of a doctor...
it actually struck me when i was taking my first aid course. Among some of the basic rules for first aid is that if the situation is too serious or out of your control... call emergency medic service... which leads you to a doctor. If you're facing any sort of medical problem, call a doctor. If you don't know what to do in a n emergency, call a doctor.. for that matter, whenever an emergency occurs, the first person you call is normally a doctor.
heh, then i realized that becoming a doctor is akin to being like being some sort of "superman"... cos' you're expected to know what to do when nobody knows what to do, you're expected to "save the day" when everyone's panicking and running for cover, you're expected to save a life that would otherwise die.

hmm...and then i come to what i'm studying now... and it seems quite scary cos' what i study now doesn't seem to teach you anything related to being that "superman" :P... well, i suppose you could say you've to learn the basics n stuff like that... but yeah, suddenly you realize how important it is to pay attention in class.. ;) this coming from the guy who falls asleep in class almost everyday, lol... today being one of those days...
