My yearning to be in this field was recently triggered In the year 2001 I was blessed with a baby sister She was born prematurely at only seven months We were told that there was a high chance that she would be deaf Later we came to realize that she was going to be the most intelligent of the four children my mother had After months of treatment my sister was finally released Despite her small size and weight she was a healthy baby Everything was going smoothly until about 2009 when she was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism My family and I were shocked upon receiving this diagnosis because it was a rare disease for someone her age From then on it was endless visits to the hospital where she was tested and treated First they killed her thyroid then they prescribed her medicine to get her thyroid levels back to where they should be This was working fine until one morning she woke up only find that she could not feel her legs Watching her go from being a normal little girl to not being able to walk was traumatizing for me We took her to the emergency room where they told us that she had a bad reaction to the medicine and she would have to admitted into the hospital overnight That is where I was able to gain a special kind of respect for medical professionals
