Perhaps many would be surprised at my latest change of career path. I guess I have always been one of those righteous doctors, who look like the type who would serve their livelihood for the patient's welfare. Well perhaps I was, few months ago. But I guess going through the midlife crisis that I am forced to go through, many would not blame me.
So let's talk about beauty. In the medicine world, there is a study of human beautification or so-called aesthetics. Despite accepted as being a stream of medicine, it is regarded by many as the dark side of medicine as it reaps profits beyond comparison, and the sole purpose of treatment is mainly for vanity. Funny, I should associate myself with such a field - when I continuously spare my time towards medical charity. But the more I study about it, the more intriguing it becomes. In fact, I have come to the point that I believe that I am giving a service to people by providing the proper expertise to help with on-going problems like obesity or a scarred face, to give renewed hope and increased confidence, and to provide safety to patient's rather than they go to some beautician.
So perhaps its not that bad after all? Medicine after all, for all it is, is more of an art than a science.
