The Perspective: A Medical Volunteer Experience

By David J. Chernobylsky

With the addition of a new forward, written years after the original publication, THE PERSPECTIVE: A MEDICAL VOLUNTEER'S EXPERIENCE seeks to cover the basic questions every individual considering a profession in the medical field needs to ask themselves: What is it really like from the other side of the medical counter? What does it mean to have 'passion for medicine'? What is the difference between 'sympathy' and 'empathy' and what difference does it make when physicians or health care professionals are caring for their patients? These questions are delved into throughout the journal entries of a 16-year-old medical volunteer, one who is unsure of his destiny but boldly striving to find the answers to the burning questions every self-appointed pre-medical student needs to know before beginning their arduous medical education journey. Will he find those answer? But more importantly, will you?
