What Makes an Ideal Physician?

 

"A man does not have to be an angel in order to be saint." This quote is from Albert Schweitzer, who is regarded as one of the best physicians in history by devoting his life to doctoring sick people in Africa. There are three aspects which make an ideal physician like him. First of all, an ideal doctor is confident. A doctor's job is to cure people of illness, so they know how to examine the patients and treat their illnesses with their specialized knowledge. Also, a doctor's confidence makes patients relief that they can be cured soon enough. Second, a good physician is conscientious. They usually work more than 40 hours a week taking care of the patients, prescribing medication, and doing many other things. They are diligent, hard-working, and persistent because even a single mistake can be critical in the medical world. Finally, a good doctor is humane. A compassionate doctor knows how to communicate with the patients. Doctors try to understand their patients by interacting with them how much they suffer from not only physically, but also mentally. Those patient-centered minds could have dramatic effects on patients' recovery. To sum up, ideal physicians need to be confident in what they are doing, thorough, and personal and those are what every patient wants.

 

 

Top Tips for Finding a Flat in London

 

             When I was in London last year, my contract with the host family had finished, so I decided to move out and find a flat for rent. At first, I had no idea what to do, so I asked my friends for help. To be successful in finding a flat, you should follow three steps. First of all, you need to go online and check several property sites to find some places and make some phone calls if those rooms are still available or not. Do not choose your room only based on the photos on the websites. People can upload old ones when it was new or make them somehow look better than it is. Therefore, you need to consider other factors including the distance from your school, accessibility of public transportation, and being furnished or unfurnished. If some conditions are met, you can make an appointment to view the room. Next, meet your landlord to check your room and other facilities in the house. It is useful to have someone with you, so you can get advice particularly when you view the room. You should ask as many as questions as you can involving if you need any furniture to bring with you, if something is broken or if they have any problems with neighbors. Then try all the taps and check the water pressure in the kitchen and the bathroom. Also, it is advisable to have a look around in the area if it is safe when it is dark. Finally, do not make a contract right after you see the room. Once it is signed and sealed, it is almost impossible to cancel it. Even if you think this is the best one for you, you should make up your mind after a thorough going-over for a few days. Otherwise, you will probably regret it later. Therefore, if you follow these steps for your flat hunting, you can find a good one and enjoy your days with your new home like I did.
