Imagine that
There's truth behind this cheesy story. But as a health worker I wanna point out couple things. The workload is likely to be immense. You're expected to do and know everything from disease prevention to code blue. This trained worker is likely to come from a large family sometimes as the only one with an education. The family will benefit financially from her working abroad.
These decisions have a lot to do with ethics unlike in so many other professions. What kind of impact do you want to make? What matters to you? Guess the hardest part is if you're all alone. Sharing the responsibility with someone will lighten the workload.
I have an enormous respect for my colleagues doing their grassroot work in rural areas. They've told me some unbelievable stories. They're there even tonight. Celebrating New Year with people who respect them.
