imagination vs. reality

In India, a Quest to Ease the Pain of the Dying

reaffirms that before i am a doctor in the United States, i want to practice abroad to attempt to gain perspective on what being a doctor means on a larger scale, within different spaces and systems. on a quest, of sorts, to hopefully become aware of and find my place in the area of medicine. i am aware of my own superhero complex (which i probably share with almost every pre-med with social awareness), wanting to save everyone and change everything that's wrong. that is part of my whole quest. not simply practicing abroad, but starting in first, recognizing my idealist nature and secondly, trying to hone these good intentions to do something real.
