The Emergency Room.

  My first day in the Emergency Room (ER) was intense, filled with diverse and unforgettable patient encounters. As an observer, I was excited but also apprehensive about what the day would bring. I quickly realized that the ER is a world of its own: fast paced, unpredictable, and crucial in saving lives. Case 1: Kidney Stone Emergency The first case I encountered involved a patient suffering from kidney stones. The patient was brought in by ambulance, clearly in distress, and complaining of severe left abdominal pain. Their symptoms included fever and shivering, which led to a red classification during triage, indicating the need for immediate medical attention. In order to alleviate the patient's discomfort, the doctors promptly gave them IV fluids and painkillers. I became aware of how important prompt intervention is in the emergency room after witnessing the team's quick and effective actions. Even though kidney stones are common, they can cause severe, incapacitating p...

Biomedical engineering  Biomedical engineering is where innovation meets human life. It combines engineering principles with medicine to tackle healthcare challenges. Imagine designing an artificial heart that keeps someone alive or creating a smart prosthetic limb that responds to brain signals. Biomedical engineers develop life-saving MRI machines, wearable health trackers, and even 3D-printed organs. They are not just building machines; they are building hope. They improve how we diagnose, treat, and heal. This field is ideal for those who want to use technology to directly impact lives. Machines of Life  In order to diagnose patients and create successful treatment regimens, medical imaging technologies like MRIs, ultrasounds, and X-rays are essential. Doctors would have a very difficult time correctly identifying illnesses or keeping an eye on interior structures without these tools. A radiologist with over 25 years of expertise gave me the chance to learn from him durin...

As I began to ask myself questions about what to study and what genuinely caught my interest, I was lost in a sea of possibilities. I could, for example, study for a degree in medicine. I could work as a doctor, helping to treat and operate on patients, and positively impact patients’ lives. But then, I remembered something. Doctors, for example, give medications and perform surgery on patients, but what methods do and processes does the physician use to arrive at such decisions? What information, processes, and algorithms guide their decision-making? It was at this point that I found out about the hidden world—the world of biomedicine. It was a powerful yet simple answer, one that kicked off my interest in the world. I began my research and myself in the following months to look into potential options such as biochemistry, biotechnology, and biomedical engineering. I found the highly innovative nature of the fields that integrate science, technology and health to boost development of ...
