Contest: Do you know your Health Professionals?

Victoria is a friend of mine who's one of the health professional (Surgeon)

Salutations my esteemed steemians. I'll like to use this opportunity to give accolades to our health professionals. They're the underrated and unsung heroes in the world, because our health is in good hands when we're in their custody. They work tirelessly behind the doors and curtains to make sure they treat, diagnose and heal us when it's necessary.

Health is very crucial, the same way getting to know our health professional is. I'm really delighted to join this contest organized by one of the humble moderator and active user on Steemit in person of @sahmie. Let's shine the spotlight....

Before someone is regarded as a health professional, there are some qualifications and standard required from the person. Education is the first qualification that can define someone a health professional. When I talk about education, i mean advancing to the highest institution not tertiary institution. An SSCE graduate can't wear a uniform of the health team and call himself or herself a health professional.

A nurse must get her degree or diploma to be defined as health professional

Let's say someone wants to be a doctor or nurse, the person must get his or her degree or diploma from any healthcare related institution or health sciences. People spent 7 years in most of this institution, just to get this degree and be called health professional. In my city, we have this institution called School of nursing.

It's a healthcare related institution which helps individuals to get their qualifications and entitled to be a health professional. After spending couple years in this institution, they'll be given a licence to certify that they're competent for the job. That's one of the things that makes one a health professional.

My favourite health professional (Surgeon)

A surgeon is my favourite health professional. Their work is to get rid of disease or any illness in a patient in form of surgery. They're my favourite health professional because they work as if their life depends on it, I'm saying this out of experience. The picture above is my surgeon friend by name Victoria.

She doesn't joke with her work, she doesn't visit the theatre with her smartphone and I've never heard of negative news since she started working as a surgeon. She makes me proud, she makes me develop interest and love for this area of health professionals. They're my favourite health professional because they saved my aunty who was suffering from inflamed appendix. All hope was gone, but it was revived through the surgeon. I owe them.

I'll choose to be a therapist. Photo by @alli001, May 2024.

I'll choose to be a therapist and giving helping hands to the depressed, supporting patient's mental and emotional well-being. I love the way therapist do their work when watching some Nigerian movies. They dress corporate, just the way I'm appearing up there. I choose a therapist because there's no blood involved when helping a patient, all I'll need is my skill, experience and ability to provide guidance and support to patients and their loved ones.

To sum up, we should celebrate our health professionals, who are the unsung heroes in the world because this will boost their morale and promote a positive work environment.

I would be delighted if @saintkelvin17 @nsijoro and @fifapresido could join me in this contest.
