Aditi, this is beautiful and profoundly moving. How you describe medicine—as more than a science, but as an art, a human connection, a shared moment that forever alters both doctor and patient—is profoundly comforting.
Your patients are incredibly fortunate to have you by their side, not just as a healer but as someone who truly sees them, listens to them, and walks with them, even if only for a moment.
The world needs more physicians like you—ones who recognize that medicine is as much about the heart as it is about the mind. And from how you write, I do not doubt you will be a force to be reckoned with.
Wishing you all the strength, wisdom, and joy on the rest of your journey. The future of medicine is brighter with you in it. 💙
Anshul Uncle this means so much to me - I would not be where I am today without the unyielding love and support I grew up with. Our extended family in Michigan means the world to me and has inspired me so much.
Hello Aditi, thank you so much for writing the post! I keep thinking if medicine is the right fit for me and keep trying to avoid it. I love biology and I want to help others but chemistry is giving me grief. However I seem to come back to the idea of medicine… but I am scared that I won’t be able to handle the rigors of medicine. Any suggestions?
hi!! medicine is definitely such a long haul but i think pre medical courses are much harder than actual medicine. for me the pre medical courses felt like many discrete topics but in medical school even though the work was hard it all seemed to be coming together and had a lot of real world applications which made it more interesting to learn about! definitely don’t rule out medicine just yet ◡̈ there’s a lot of joy in it and im really happy i kept going!

you can do so much more than you think you can! and medical school also has a great community of people so you’ll never have to do it alone ◡̈
