Greetings all, welcome to my blog.
Image is mine.
Seeing today's prompt reminded me of when I was growing up.
The prompt:
**What job would I be terrible at and why? **
Growing my mom always told me to read and study hard so I could become a doctor for her. And the young and naive me, said okay ma, I'll study to be a doctor for you. I actually read and studied my book and the taught of becoming a doctor or entering the medical field was on my mind. But as I gained admission into the higher institution, I couldn't cope with the course and had to change course. It's not that I didn't know what was taught but I didn't have interest in it.
**What job would I be terrible at? **
Being a doctor, nurse or any profession that has to do with blood and medicine is a job I can not do.
I certainly can't stand the smell of medicine for too long, I can look at blood but not when it's too much. I remember a day I went to a pharmacy to buy drugs and the whole pharmacy was smelling drugs, I nearly threw up.
Also the emotional toll of working in healthcare would be too much for me to handle. Dealing with sick and dying patients on a daily basis requires a level of emotional strength that I don't have. I'm a highly sensitive person, and I know I would struggle to maintain professional boundaries. The thought of delivering bad news to patients or their families makes my heart ache. I fear I would become too emotionally invested in my patients' outcomes, leading to burnout and depression.
