My name is Dr. Nuru Ahmed, I am a General Surgeon from Ethiopia. Saying I love Surgery for me would be an understatement. I did my residency program in one of the busiest hospital in the country. I have spent countless sleepless nights dealing with emergency patients from across a vast region. There were many times where I spent all night long and all through the day operating on emergency and elective patients. Alongside I teach undergraduate medical students. It was quite a journey. After I finished my surgical training I was assigned to do a community service at a primary hospital about 80kms away from my University Hospital. Things were going well untill one unfortunate day where I sustained a car accident while travelling to the primary hospital and injured my C3 and C4 vertebrae and end up having ASIA A spinal cord injury. Life got upside down; within a fraction of seconds, my dreams and hopes evaporated before my eyes. It was almost 5:30 and the sun was about to set and as people who reached at the scene got me out of the car. I did take a glimpse of the sun and I thought that was the last sunset I was going to see. My expereience with patients having high spinal cord injury was so disappointing and I, for myself, gave a 48-72 hours of stay on planet earth before I sucumb to the ultimate reality which is death. My survival was dismal and my soul was about to depart-the thread holding it to my body was about to be severed. I travelled through the darkest of the night to the capital city accompanied by a team of medical experts to undergo a trial of surgery. I dont want to go through the details of those painful and hard to imagine moments I spent in ICU on mechanical ventilator. Fast forward, the moment I was able to sit on a wheelchair, I decided to get back on the horse and keep riding-I returned to my university hospital filled with a spectrum of emotions and started teaching again! My students, graduating medical doctors, class of 2024 humbled me with a certificate of recognition for my effort and I would like to say thank you and Congratulations for them! It is an honor for me and it will remain as a sprinter to help me keep moving in this tiresome and exhausting journey!

My name is Dr. Samrawit Yohannes, I got married when I was an Intern. I was 7 month pregnant when I graduated from Tikur Anbessa. This is my story.

Medical school is a strange place; it is fair to say that it is quiet an unpleasant space too. It is more of a norm for the high scorers of every high school to choose Medicine. And almost everyone’s first choice is Addis Ababa University, the home of Tikur Anbessa; the lands mammoth institution of medicine. We all walked through the gates of Sidist Kilo 12 years ago with no idea of what awaited us. The grueling curriculum of medical school has been written about for ages so I will not dwell on that topic. The thing that bothers me is that the system established five decades ago is designed in a way to sustain itself, i.e. the system breeds a system identical to its own and those who do not conform are thrown out. In medicine being the best is rewarded, in a simple rule of thumb the more you memorize the higher your grades will be. The system punishes those who are different; it humiliates those who think outside the box, it silences those who dare to speak out. Med-school will break you till you conform. It is a correctional facility to those that have always excelled in their studies; in many ways it is a punishment with no impunity. It is not uncommon to hear lines as “she/he took her own life” during the most stressful of times. So yes, capital punishment is a possibility of the system, in a country where it is forbidden by law it is overlooked when it happens to a medical student. Medicine is beautiful, but the system is oppressive. Medicine is an art, but the system kills the artist in you. Conformity is what is expected, it is the only thing that is asked of you. Medicine never asks “do you have compassion in your heart?” it does not mind if you are arrogant, it rather asks “do you know the differentials to someone who comes with fever and a rash”. If you answer that then yes, you are competent. The system is less concerned about your ability to feel, your being a human is of little concern. You are expected to be a machine, ready for package and distribution by the end of internship. Well I beg to disagree, medical school is where you find the brightest the country has to offer, a lake of intellectual ability waiting to be harnessed. If the system is allowed to go on at its current pace then we will produce hundreds of ill young individuals that are the victim of the plague of conformity; young individuals that were automated to heal but are sick themselves. In a campus where you have several individuals capable enough to be the next Minister of Health, the next WHO Director General and maybe even a Prime Minister some day; we have to dare to not conform, we have to fight the status quo. Refuse to bend down to a system that kills your spirit, say no to the system that will not let you innovate, dare to say “there is a better way, a polite way, a humane way to achieve it all.” Because that is the only way that we will grow as a nation, we have to challenge what is accepted as normal because being humiliated on a daily basis is not normal, because being wrong is not a sin and being right is not a gateway to heaven, walking with your head down is not normal, living with a mountain of “what if” is not normal, being pushed to a state where you see suicide as a better option than facing another day in medical school is not normal. But yet, this is the norm, has always been and unless we challenge it, it will continue to prevail. Aspire to be different, dare to dream and always believe that there are brighter days ahead because that is what medicine is all about, the relief to someone’s pain, the beacon of hope to the ill, a practice as old as mankind himself yet as warm as a young mothers’ first embrace. Medicine is where we all belong, one common nation under the creator where everyone is an equal regardless of your accent, your skin tone or your choice of life. Medicine should be a utopia where those with different ideas are not shunned upon. Don’t we owe it to the poor farmer in the countryside whose feet have not had the luxury of shoes to develop a system that is fair so that when he trusts us with the wellbeing of his child in medical school we will not disappoint him? Don’t we owe it to the poor mother who can barely sign her name but has broken her back trying to educate her daughter and after 12 years of hardship managed to send her to medical school, how heartbroken will she be when she hears that her daughter has taken her own life unable to bear the stress? Don’t we owe it to her to develop a system that will leave no student behind? We should leave no one behind, no neck should bend down in shame, no soul should feel less than adequate. Let’s create our own system, a system that gives everyone a reason to wake up. A system that we can all belong to. A system we can all call home. This is what I have to say, dare to not conform, be a rebel, dare to be yourself, and do it all with a smile cause the view is beautiful when there are tears of joy in your eyes.

Medical school can be stressful for a variety of reasons. But not all these reasons are the same for everyone. Some people can easily handle the increased workload. Some can easily carry the emotional baggage. It can look like some people are doing well. Then it turns out they’re the ones suffering the most. As a medical student, you were likely at the top of your class most of your academic life. You entered wide-eyed, ready for another challenge. But when you’re placed in an environment in which everyone is at least on the same level as you, it feels like you weren’t that smart after all. Suddenly you have these stacks of readings for the exam in a few days. With so much information to study in too little time, all your effort is focused on passing while your non-med friends are earning their salaries, getting married, and traveling. Meanwhile, your classmates seem to be doing just fine. So why is it so hard for you? Even after all that hard work, the day of the exam comes around and maybe you fail. It becomes disheartening to work for so much with little reward. But you don’t have time to wallow because the next exam is coming up, and it has more content than the last! You suck it up and keep going because you can’t afford to fail. This goes on for 2-3 years in the classroom, and then you need to balance it with hospital work...
