The Four-way Test ‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍I ‍‍‍‍‍‍ know I can’t save everyone ‍‍‍‍‍, and right now I probably couldn’t save anyone. One day I wish to become a doctor, my specific field isn’t yet decided. And if I do become a doctor I want to follow ‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍this test ‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍to become the best person I can be. ‍‍‍‍‍‍ Being a doctor isn’t easy, and if I manage to pass medical school, ‍‍I want to be a truthful ‍‍. I’m sure there are plenty of truthful medical ‍personnel ‍ out in the world, and I want to be one of them. In my mind, if I’m dying I want my doctor or nurse to tell me that. I don’t want to be kept in the dark and think there is a possibility I can get better when there really is no hope. Not only is it not fair to the patient, it isn’t fair to their family and friends. I personally don’t want to be the person that gives false hope to everyone only to have it crushed. Another problem I will have to face is to see people suffering. Most people hate to see others and pain, and I am no different. I want to become a doctor to help people, not to watch them die. Thinking about this it made me think about doctor-assisted suicides. I don’t think it should be any single person’s decision of who lives or dies. In a medical viewpoint, I can understand why some doctors would do this for their patients. For one thing, if they are going to die from their injury or disease anyway, would it hurt to end it faster? Maybe it ends the suffering for the patient, but it begins a morning process for everyone around them. The patient may feel that its truthful and good thing to do, but it ‍‍‍isn’t ‍‍‍ fair to anyone else but them. Then again, the family and friends aren’t the one slowly dying in a hospital bed, and some people would agree that they have no say in it. Going off of that, it also isn’t fair to the doctor themselves. I don’t want to be asked my sick patient to help them die. It would haunt me for the rest of my life, knowing that I deliberately ended someone else’s life. In my eyes, if I were to do such a thing I would call it murder. I’m not positive, but I’m sure there are other doctors out there that feel the same way. To me, being able to help others in the medical field is an ambition of mine. The satisfaction of saving someone’s life will make the years I will have to put into school worth it. ‍‍‍‍I will never be perfect ‍‍‍‍, but if I follow this simple‍‍‍‍‍‍ test my ‍‍‍‍‍‍decision making will be improved. Not only in my wanted career, but in everyday choices.
