How to embark on a career path in the healthcare industry
Since Covid-19 pandemic last year, it would seem like “health” is a word that is constantly active in our collective memory. Every topic under this earth, from idle chatters to government regulations, has a section dedicated to the exploration, implementation, actualization of health issues and solutions. It is as if we are at last waking up from the slumber that had kept us in the dark, woefully unaware of the measures and efforts our healthcare workers, the finest amongst us, had upheld for all times to keep us safe.
There is a wide range of job roles in the healthcare industry. Therapy services is perhaps one of the most underappreciated form of healthcare. When the public pictures healthcare professionals, they are imagining ER paramedics, dashing and bold, sprinting through the hospital corridor in a race of life and death; or they are surgeons cladded in scrub suit and mask as their armor, intelligent and precise, pulling the dying back to the waking light. But the most important form of healthcare is the one that reflects the true principle of Hippocratic school - to administer remedy for suffering, achievable with the cooperation of both the healthcare professional and the patient, to return to life’s greatest gift: well-being.
Granted, there would be challenges inbound for all who has chosen therapy service as their cause, dissatisfaction may take over you when you are resigned to seemingly menial, even unpleasant caregiving tasks, doubt may cloud you when your days are endured with unreasonable patients, that is why it is the noblest healthcare profession of them all, it takes one with character of an angel, heart full of grace and soul full of charity, to perform the sacred task that is restoration of a human life’s quality. Paramedics and surgeons save lives in the scientific, physical sense, but therapy workers deliver salvation in reinstating the comfort of everyday living, the ability to perform once more in society, the emotional release at becoming human, not simply a patient, again.
