hi my name is ryan i'm 21 years old from manchester i'm a third year medical student
so i think around year nine when i was 13 years old i always found myself liking to help people
and then always enjoyed science at school as well so at one point it just clicked my mind really um
it's time to combine it all together and wait a minute this is probably my thing you know everyone
talks about um you should really do what you want to do in life after like do the thing that you're
the best at and back then i was the best at that best of both of those things and i thought
what career could combine those two together and medicine came to mind everyone had sports and
other things that i did at school my thing at school was going out taking my free time to go
and help others we used to go to schools to help children read that needs to go to two charities to
like help people with dementia and alzheimer's just be there for people who just a bit lonely
because that's how it can get and knowing that i could give a good care to people was something
that really really fascinated me and i think with studying medicine it allowed me to actually
do that so i just started to build my career from then really from a relatively young age
14 15 doing everything i can to make sure i get into medical schools and just dedicate my life
to her and then i stopped at nothing to get into medicine and here i am today with the uk i mean
it's always been really competitive it's always been really tough i got the gcses but the a levels
where it didn't go too well for me in reality but um i tried my hardest to get into medical
school over there everything had fallen into place except for the grades like i hadn't really
thought about doing anything else and no matter what had happened it felt like it was my calling
so i had to stop at anything even though i didn't get the grades i reapplied tried to do it
again still didn't happen i thought what are the other options and i've always known about people
going to europe to study so i um i had a few friends some family here in there who'd gone to
other european countries but the more i looked into romania the more it attracted me at that
point and then just going through all the other options and seeing which universities it seemed
like the country i wanted to do and yeah there's a lot of deliberating overall as to whether it would
be the wisest choice to go into the grid but going to romania has to let me do that if i didn't come
to this country i wouldn't be able to do medicine which is which is why romania as a country matters
so much to me and nothing will ever change i've researched all the different countries
bulgaria within my culture at least back in england is the most popular choice like a lot
of asians in england go to bulgaria so i thought well sure that's one of the first choices but
looking at it nothing actually really brought out much from that country i did look at prague but
then i heard about everything being super strict that sort of stuff and just basically narrowed
down all the different countries and saw which one was the best for me and romania just seemed
like most normal like you could just come here and have a very nice life and not have to worry
about anything i think that's one of the wisest choices i've ever made like every time i come here
from england i just get this level of peace that i never get to achieve anywhere else that's what
always drives me to come because like when i'm when i'm back in england i'm always busy with
busy all the time with family and seeing friends and work as well in over summers so
coming back here i can really kick my feet up and relax and enjoy the country in the country there's
so much to offer there's so much to do so many places to go to that's a separate time in my life
that's the thing like i'm i'm kicking myself because only just gone to brush over now i've
only just gone to puyana that sort of stuff imagine we've done that much earlier cluj a
friend just visited from yash i'm feeling i've got to go to yash now mould over lots of famous places
in romania as well like uh the very famous top gear road that they use in one of their specials
and i believe jeremy clarkson himself said it's one of the greatest roles he's ever driven
there's always so many things you find it you think what the hell how does it say it's better
than england sometimes it really is as soon as i get a car here i'm probably going to travel most
if not all the country go to all the significant cities because we have so much freedom here there
is so much to see there's so much to do you'd be an idiot to not see where you live you live in
england you're going to see the country you live in romania you're going to see the country as well
that's all i say a lot of people come here they're just uh try and adapt too much they're trying to
try and uh replicate what they used to have if they just realized remaining of what it actually
is as a country just realize what it has to offer rather than try to think of it compared to my home
country this and that if they actually looked at what romania has to offer they'd be blown
away those you could do anything and everything here this is one of the most developed countries
i've eaten there's so many things to do the best way to describe university here is traditional
traditional in a good way because nowadays with all these degrees um every different
university seems to have its own approach which is normal it's fine for every university have
their own approach to teaching a course but the traditional ways to try to test this method end
of the day is produce many medical doctors and i have good faith in the way it's taught here like
anatomy is taught under pressure like is which yeah if you look at it yeah okay it may seem
tough but uh we're going to be doctors maybe dentists like people are going to be trusting
our health and our lives in our hands so of course like it makes sense that we need to
be the best simple that we just know everything we're doing inside and out i think our university
helps us do that i've had students from the uk tell me that the depth that we
teach our content well the depth of context talked to was in romania and um doctors have had
really good faith in european education in general a lot of the european educated doctors have come
to england and gone into nhs and people are wow these doctors they know so much and i can see
where they get it from because i swear to god they want to teach you absolutely anything and
everything at this university like what should be rotations on the job in england in your final year
is still university here and nothing that says enough about the course like they want you to
know everything it's very cool that romanian officer so in in third year in general i mean
there's no point in going so specific about each of the modules but what i can definitely say is uh
now is when you really start to feel like a doctor because for the first two years
it's kind of a good way of the university to make sure everyone's on the same page
but they'll just teach you everything that is more or less high school slash college content
and bring everyone to the same page like we'll have nurses on the course who don't know that
much about chemistry and then they've got to bring themselves to that level of chemistry
whereas i did a level chemistry so that's it for me like i'm fine with that sort of thing
for biology a lot of people have no biology at school so the first two years was just that
getting all the theory out of the way everything you have to remember like anatomy and some basic
human science i think in general medicine you don't really feel like a doctor until third year
but it it matters it's really important you've got to get all that content into your mind first
before even thinking about approaching a patient and then third year comes and they teach you how
to procreate literally time to take medical histories basic medical maneuvers which all
comes under like surgical semiology and then we have like medical maneuvers physiopathology
pharmacologists name a few it's actual medical subjects now in third year the rotations have
started with lots of hospital placements yeah things have been messed up because i've covered
but where in the world isn't which is how it is right now just finally wearing scrubs finally
using a stethoscope started to feel like a doctor with regards to like a uni i think i'm going to
try my hardest to dive into the field i want to go into trying to go into surgery maybe trolling
an orthopedics so i need to find some doctors and do some shadowing try and get into emergency wars
to try and dive into the field to just help help my career in the future truth be told with this
place there is always so much going on anyway you just never really know what's going to happen for
next week like i said there's so much to do if you know it's the career you want to do if you
pour your time and effort into trying to get into medicine then it is simply a no-brainer to
go and study it anywhere else like stop at nothing stopping nothing if you have the chance to pursue
the dream you've always wanted to why would you do something else when you know as you're calling
when you know it's what you want out of life you know it's what you've envisioned it is much better
taking a dive into the unknown to achieve what you want then sitting back and doing something else in
life that you didn't really want to do and kicking yourself about it for the rest of your life
