I've gone ahead and thought about a specific example and added it into the PS where I thought it best fit. I do understand that my example may be a bit generic, but it was a true experience for me, a bit more humorous than portrayed so i cut it down to the barebones as much as possible. I went ahed and pasted the document below in case we have any technical difficulties. Thank you once again.<br \/><br \/>\r\n<p>&ldquo;Fiat Justitia, et pereat mundus.&rdquo; This translates to, &ldquo;let justice be done, though the world perish.&rdquo; This is the motto of Ferdinand I, Holy Roman Emperor. I&rsquo;m an avid fan of history; it&rsquo;s an absolutely fascinating field of study. Learning about the histories, accomplishments, scientific and medical advancements, art, architecture, and cultures of societies the world over has been, and remains, one of my great passions. And if there&rsquo;s anything I have learnt from scouring various resources on various persons and their lives, dynasties, empires, wars and battles, it&rsquo;s that without proper preparation and information to make an informed decision, costly mistakes can be made. This is true both in life and in the field of medicine.<\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p>Family physicians serve an important role as one of the first providers of information for our patients. These patients can then go and make informed decisions about their health. As a family physician, I would be in a unique position to be exposed to diverse clinical scenarios. During my 3<sup>rd<\/sup>&nbsp;year Family Medicine clerkship, I was fortunate enough to acquaint myself with several patients, each their own unique clinical issues. These ranged from depression, an important psychiatric issue among our patient population, and of a field of study which I find intriguing, to smoking cessation as both a means of primary and secondary prevention for our patients and their young family members. No other clerkship gave me the opportunity to work with patients from their first visit with a physician in the primary care clinic, or patients dealing with chronic medical issues such as diabetes. I learned about various socioeconomic implications that alter the lives of our patients.<\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p>As a family physician, I would have the opportunity to get to know my patients on a one-on-one basis, understand and assist them in managing their health in the most optimal way, and take into consideration their social and economic considerations as well. <em>I recall once whilst in clinic, my preceptor squeezing in a patient just prior to lunch, as this was the only time she could make an appointment due to her work schedule. The reason for the visit was a follow up on shoulder pain from overuse at her job in retail, but during the visit she went on to discuss about how one of her two sons was becoming a cause for concern for her and how she&rsquo;d like to have him come in and talk with my preceptor. She later went on to explain to me that her whole family sees my preceptor and when this particular son had been going through some tough times as a teenager, my preceptor had spoken with him and it helped quite a lot at that time<\/em>.It is quite the daunting and challenging task to help balance all these considerations, but I believe I am up to the challenge, and I am certain the reward of seeing my patients&rsquo; go on to live healthier lives will be worth it.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>","price_select":"1","temp_doc_name":"upload_57ee1f4b870c55.69478582.docx","word_count":"495","subtotal":13.37,"total_amt":11.36,"firstName":"Dare","lastName":"Ajayi","lastfour":"3346","exp":"0919","address":"1349 Charleston Avenue","city":"Huntington","zip":"25701","state":"WV","country":"United States","transactionReference":"8673325316"}
