Summary
Before starting my journey as a phlebotomist, I dedicated two years to caregiving for Alzheimer's patients, an experience that profoundly shaped my perspective on medicine. This period ignited my aspiration to pursue a career in healthcare, specifically as a doctor. My decision to begin as a phlebotomist stems from a desire to establish foundational patient interaction skills. I am passionate about understanding patients' needs and continually refining my phlebotomy skills to minimize discomfort. The hospital where I currently work has become my invaluable learning ground, where I thrive and evolve professionally.
