"I'm glad the hospital was happy with me, because I was quite content with the experience I gained from there. I am very glad I got to meet such influential people there as well. Not only Dr. Hang, but a lot of the other doctors in the CCU, as well as Ms. Lu and her supporting cast. The medical students were wonderful and I wish I got to know them more. They are very intuitive and intelligent, and ask thoughtful questions.

I remember my first day at the hospital. I was quite lost and the people at the CCU made me feel welcome and that I was part of their staff. It almost felt like I was an employee of the hospital and I was an integral part of how things worked in the cardiology department. Being so immersed in meetings, case study discussions, catheter lab procedures, and group discussions, I have truly gotten a good taste of how medicine in China works. Whats more, is that I have gained a wealth of knowledge about what the medical profession entails more so than I have in the US. As the weeks went by I began to become more comfortable conversing and trying to learn some Chinese. I believe that was the biggest obstacle...learning Chinese. However, most people there had an idea of what I was trying to convey as they spoke some English. More importantly, people can learn the universal form of communication and that is through action and expression. That was something that truly opened my eyes.

I know now that being a doctor isnt all about the flashiness or the prestige, but it is truly about compassion, and interaction. That seems to be a good 80-90% of the treatment plan. If the mental side of health is not present, then everything else collapses. However, when you provide that support and confidence through an extensive knowledge of the field and how the body works, you are guaranteed success. I want to truly thank UOutlook team for setting me up with this opportunity, and I want to thank everyone that I have come into contact with at the hospital. You guys will always be in my thoughts and you have left a footprint in my heart forever! ” –Mr. Sumair B., USA.
