A lot of reasons really. Medicine is a very respectful job and it gives you the chance to help people. From the economic view, it earns good money.
5. What about your specialty? And why?

6. What is your advice for fresh graduates?
Oooh, the most important advice is to choose their specialty carefully and to choose what they actually like to do as they will spend the rest of their life doing it. To be always update themselves with the recent guidelines, science and education will not stop with graduation.
7. How to be a successful physician?
It is an important question. From my point of view, I think this need a lot of efforts and much contributing factors. For example, you need to do fewer mistakes in your practice, the fewer mistake you do the better you will be. A well-established relationship with your patients is mandatory also. And you need to understand your patient’s needs and concern and always pay sympathy for their suffers. Last but not least, be always familiar with recent updates guidelines.
