I wanted to be a doctor since I was a child - Joshua Okpanachi


Listen Later

Had a conversation with Joshua Okpanachi who is a medical doctor at the Ahmadu Bello University Teaching Hospital (ABUTH), Zaria, Nigeria; and he spoke about his journey through medical school and how it was important for him to work with others and mentors. He mentioned how he has "always wanted to be a doctor" right from when he was a kid.
He also talked about how difficult it is to lose patients in the ward and how it could be emotionally draining, but he still does it well, as he feels he has got something to offer the community he is in by serving them in that way.
He interestingly related the tough exams that had to be taken in Medical school and the failure that comes with it sort of trained him to withstand tough situations like a patient dying and then pick himself up and go take care of the next patient.
Doctors have come to appreciate human life and in fact "All the arguments are pointless at the time of death".
