There
is no doubt that the medical profession is one of the most important jobs in
today’s society. Yet it is still one of the most over looked jobs too. Most
people see going to the doctor as a burden, and punishment (Most kids). Yet it
is for the benefit of the most important thing, your body.
After
reading the news article John Mellencamp meets doctor who saved his life from CBS the importance of medicine was revamped
for me. Singer John Mellencamp was born with spina bifida a birth defect in which a
developing baby's spinal cord fails to develop properly. His life was saved by
receiving a pioneering operation, he was the first patient to receive it.
He met
back up with the neurosurgeon who saved his life 62 years before. They talked
about faith for over an hour together. As a result, on his tour his final show
is going to benefit the hospital that saved hid life. This just shows how the
importance of medicine to save lives, but also affect others in way that allow
drives them to donate time/money to save others.
