> I think you are right saying you can't really learn empathy.I think certain books, advice can point you in the right direction, but, ultimately, I feel, empathy, has to come to one in a natural, non-foreced way, for the greater part.
That being said, I feel we ALL have an inherent empathy within by virtue of being a human being- this includes even serial killers, and other people who seem to be devoid of empathy.
I would like to state that studying medicine is very costly in many countries.It's very expensive here.....fortunately I have family to help me.
A lot of people in the so called 1st world could never afford it. They introduced entrance tests to medical studies which is a failure in my opinion.
'entrance tests'? Is this post-graduate entrance to medical school? I think post-graduate entrance is better, and it aims, I feel, to broaden the applicants spectrum on life, as such, before entering medicine.
A doctor really does not need to be a genius. I agree with tirone here:
I really feel for the most part, that all of us have such a tremedous capacity to do so many great things. I feel we just have to have more self-discipline and focus.....
cheers!!!
