How does it feel when you save a patient's life?
I am a pre-med biomedical science major and I know that I want to pursue surgery. I really want to know how it feels to save a person's life. #doctor #pre-med #medical-school #doctorate-degree #surgeon

It’s pretty dang cool :). Honesty, the stuff you see in movies happens very rarely. Most of the time it’s acute care or long term care without any drama. Good luck !

Before becoming disabled I worked as an intraoperative neuromonitorist (CNIM) where I saved several patients from nerve damage due to misplaced surgical screws. It gave me a huge boost seeing that all the hours I spent training were actually doing something in the real world. The patients never knew what I did but I felt proud to have made a difference for them.
