How Important My Gadgets Are To Me
If there are two gadgets that I deemed very important for me, these are probably my digital camera, and my voice recorder. I know this is a lot more different than what other people might consider as their favorite gadget, like their mobile phones, but for me these gadgets are necessary for my job as a doctor.
Everyday I meet different kinds of patients with different diseases or illness. And in order for me to diagnose very well my clients’ signs and symptoms, I need to take pictures of wounds, lacerations, skin rashes, and other defects in the body. These photographs will aid me to determine the appearance of my client’s body part, and eventually come up to a conclusion of what kind of disease he or she is suffering. The voice recorder is also essential, especially when I am interviewing my patients regarding their medical history or the history of their current illness. It is helping me know the subjective signs and symptoms through the verbalization of my patients, like the pain they felt, or what they think about their present condition.
When I go home, I review the photographs, as well as the recorded dialogue between me and my patient. It is very helpful because I can make the exact diagnosis, especially that I face different kinds of clients everyday, and I do not have a chance to remember everything what they will be presenting to me of their illnesses. So this is why my digital camera and voice recorder are very necessary for my job as a doctor, and I will be holding for these stuffs as long as I am practicing my profession.
