DO THIS NEXT CLASS

I often met patients who got serious disease, e.g. heart attack, stroke and poisoning when I was in emergency room. Although I worked hard and did my best to help them, I couldn’t save them many times. Most of patients’ kinsfolk could understand it and thanked for my did but a few of them couldn’t accept it, they would blame the doctor.
Now I am a school doctor. In general, the students in university got minor disease e.g. cold and scrape because they are young and healthy and I can treat them by simple way. Last Sunday when I was on duty, a student knocked the door of my duty room. He told me his classmate was injured when they were playing basketball .I arrived playground quickly and found his arm was broken, so I had to call 120 for sending him to hospital because I couldn’t treat him.
