Doctors Today

Hello everybody,
My name is Arie () I am a 5th year medical student who is currently enrolled in the University of Medicine and Pharmacy in Cluj-Napoca, Romania. When I was 6 years old, I and my family escaped from the government in Iraq, which at that time was hunting down the Kurdish minority. That’s when for the first time in my life I saw people die. Years later I moved back the country, and I saw the catastrophic medical situation, as well as people who needlessly suffered because of this situation. During my trips to my homeland, I realized the full extent of the necessity to help people, not just in an emergency situation, but also beyond. This made me think about my own desire help such people, but I also realized that without a medical training and finally, degree I couldn’t do it. From then on, it has been my aim to learn more about medicine, and to find a way to become a doctor step by step. 5. Travelling and cooking. I have been so far in 40 countries and try always to combine work and travel.
