Life is an endless cycle of evolving and changing, a game that forces you to adapt to your circumstances to survive. It’s a well-known fact that physicians spend most of their time inside books, learning, and inside a white-sterile environment. So, why am I working here as a Content Writer?
Well, it’s a tricky question, but at the same time, it is obvious how I am involved in two different worlds that may not collide or have a middle ground. Although what I studied at university doesn’t match what I learned on my own, there are some situations where each impacts my daily work.
Medicine, Marketing, and Content
As a doctor, my life is supposed to be dedicated to saving lives and assisting people with diseases. However, at the beginning of time, that was simply a lie. I just had about two years of being a physician and helping people. So, why don’t I dedicate myself entirely to medicine? Well, simple: I’m a writer, and I was a writer before I got my medical degree.
What changed after going through 8 years of hard studying? I can tell that my thinking process is different. Medicine is a career where you are required to think fast and solve problems in a timely manner, and marketing requires precision and an eye for detail. Of course, there is a health and wellness marketing niche, but it’s not remotely close to being a doctor.
The way to face problems is similar when I’m working at the hospital or when I’m trying to write a piece of content. From my perspective, each field has its difficulties, but when you have shared skills, you can find a better way to solve problems no matter what I am doing.
Are There Benefits of Being a Doctor in Marketing?
Short answer: YES! However, it’s not perceptible at first. Medicine isn’t a piece of cake, and marketing and content have their learning curve that makes topics interesting. Also, the job behind a well-written and crafted article requires more time and attention to detail than simply telling patients they need ibuprofen.
Being a doctor opened my eyes to making quick marketing decisions, allowing me to adapt to fast-paced jobs quickly. Marketing also involves a ton of research, which I was used to with medicine, making me more agile in finding key information without spending several hours to obtain a reliable source.
Critical thinking is a developed ability for which I will always be grateful. Medicine taught me that despite the way it may seem hard, the final result is worth every tear. Moreover, I’m so happy I can experience life from two different points of view and still be able to perform at my best.
Content as Medicine
I miss some essential points on this topic. However, I can write with surgeon’s precision and understand data as a top performer marketer; my background started when I was a little kid, dreaming of becoming a fiction writer. Yes, I write fiction, too; what a surprise, right? That’s why I crossed paths with SEO Content and learned a new skill that works perfectly for the digital world.
Don’t worry; I’m a doctor who loves to write or a writer who is in love with medicine. Whether that is the case, anyone can do it with enough discipline and desire to reach the sky. There’s no limit if you think it is possible. So, who knows? Maybe I should try something new and add it to my passions…
