👩⚕️ What Does a Doctor Do?

Doctors do much more than give medicines. They:
- Check patients to find out what’s wrong
- Use tools like stethoscopes and thermometers
- Study reports like X-rays and blood tests
- Perform surgeries (some doctors)
- Comfort patients and families
- Give advice on staying healthy
Doctors work in hospitals, clinics, villages, ambulances, and even in the army!
🧠 Step 1: Be Curious About Science
Most doctors start as kids who love asking questions like:
- Why do we get fever?
- How does the heart beat?
- What happens when we break a bone?
If you enjoy Science and Biology, you are already on the right path.
👉 Focus on:
- Science
- Biology
- Chemistry
- Learning about the human body
You can start by reading simple books about how the body works or watching educational videos made for kids.
❤️ Step 2: Grow a Caring Heart
Being smart is important.
But being kind is even more important.
A good doctor:
- Listens patiently
- Speaks gently
- Helps people feel less scared
- Treats everyone equally
Even today, you can practice:
- Helping at home
- Learning first aid basics
- Being patient with others
Kindness is the first step to becoming a life-saving hero.
📚 Step 3: Study Hard in School
To become a doctor in India, students usually:
- Choose Science after Class 10
- Study Physics, Chemistry, and Biology
- Prepare for the NEET exam
- Join a medical college (MBBS degree)
- Study and train for about 5–6 years
After that, some doctors study more to become specialists like heart doctors, child doctors, or bone doctors.
It takes time and effort — but heroes are made through dedication!
During medical college, students train in hospitals. They:
- Observe senior doctors
- Talk to patients
- Assist in treatments
- Learn emergency care
This is where classroom learning turns into real-life saving skills!
