A rose for a white blouse

For female doctors and medical staff, to excel in their profession, they must strive even harder because they also bear the responsibilities of being wives and mothers. On March 8th, most female doctors and medical staff are still diligently working, and the "rose" they receive is simply the trust and affection of their patients.

Living with the meaning of her work. Despite two years of working in the medical profession, and despite the extremely busy schedule, midwife Nguyen Thi Thuy Phuong (Provincial General Hospital) has never lost her love for her profession. Every time she sees a newborn baby cry out its first breath, she feels her work becomes even more meaningful. (Photo: Duc Anh) |

Female doctors and medical professionals must continue to learn and self-educate without interruption. Graduating from medical school does not automatically mean being able to perform surgeries, examine patients, prescribe medication, and administer injections; female doctors and medical professionals must continue to learn and self-educate without interruption. This includes not only supplementing their professional knowledge but also honing and improving their communication and interpersonal skills with patients. (Photo: Hoang Yen) |

To become a good female doctor, they need to communicate more. Communication is necessary to understand the patient's uncertainties and to help them balance their emotions. They even need to patiently answer seemingly meaningless questions! Occupational hazards sometimes cause them to become less talkative after working hours. (Photo: Duc Anh) |

High concentration and carefulness are mandatory requirements in this job. A typical workday for female doctors and nurses at the hospital usually starts at 6:30 AM and doesn't end until 5 or 6 PM. Because of this high concentration and carefulness, they sometimes even forget to eat. Ms. Nguyen Thi Hong, who works at the Reproductive Support Unit of the Provincial General Hospital, shared: "Happiness and sadness are as fragile as a thread; what's important is learning to think positively to get the job done."

In communicating with patients, female doctors and nurses are always thoughtful and gentle. When it comes to work, they need to forget their own worries: their young children at home who are hungry for milk; family meals without the presence of a mother or wife; and in some cases, even sacrificing their last moments with loved ones to fight for a patient's life against the "grim reaper's scythe."

For female nurses, their work is always busy. Few people know that their average salary is only 2-3 million VND per month, and any additional income is negligible. They have few opportunities to work overtime and increase their income. (Photo: Duc Anh) |

The medical profession demands precise decisions regarding human lives. In hospitals, the life and death of patients are separated by a hair's breadth. Countless sighs have been heard when doctors and nurses are unable to help patients overcome death. As women, when faced with loss, female doctors and nurses often suffer from lingering anguish and guilt. (Photo: Hoang Yen) |

The cry of a new life at the moment of birth is always very special. To have more of those moments, doctors and the team always strive to help mothers successfully give birth. The moment she held her child in her arms, Dr. Ngo Thi Phuong Oanh was overwhelmed with happiness. (Photo: Duc Anh) |

For female doctors and nurses, treating patients is not only a responsibility and duty but also an act of compassion. For female doctors and nurses at psychiatric hospitals, in particular, they sometimes have to immerse themselves in the patients' world to understand their medical history and psychology in order to provide effective treatment.

Above all, the power of the two words "physician" has motivated them to continue on the noble path of healing and saving lives. The simple wishes of these female doctors and nurses are often just to wear more fashionable clothes, or to have a full day off to spend with family and friends, but these are difficult to achieve. Most of the time, they wear white lab coats or operating room uniforms. (Photo: Duc Anh) |
