Thank you.

I know you may not know me – but my name is Nísa. At age seventeen, I was diagnosed with stage 4 Non Hodgkin’s lymphoma and was told my chances of survival were low. A year onwards, I am completely cancer free and am recovering well. My doctor was amazing – the nurses, trainees, doctors, radiographers, everyone was amazing. But the thing is – some day, that is going to be you.

Someday you are going to be out there saving lives. You’re going to be someone’s hero. It’ll be great, and it’ll be hard – Some days you’ll hate it and some days you’ll love it. But at the end of the day, if it wasn’t for you guys – all you dedicated workers, you aspiring health professionals – I, and many other people, would not be here.

You are going to be great, and every day, I thank God for the people who saved my life. But it all started with people just like you.

You are the future – and I am so proud of each and every one of you.

Thankyou, medblrs. You truly are heroes.

Patients like you are also gifts to us as physicians, too!! You’re the real badass!
