"Medicine is learned by the beside and not in the classroom.Let not your conceptions at disease come from words heard in the lecture room or read from the books.See and then reason,and compare and control.But see first"
-william Osler
father of modern medicine...
as a biomedical engineer,we are also like study study medicine as above mentioned.
We should not always keep ourselves in the universtiy and dont care about the patient in the bedside.
As a engineer,we are born for design,yes,maybe you are right,but what we design for ?
a human,an organism,a life in the world,can we treat it as a non-bio?
surely,the answer is not.
then what is the role we need to play in this globarization world?
maybe you should take a look on wikipedia,
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biomedical_engineering
but all it mentioned is on the surface,
beside the skin ,there are blood,organs,and minds,
what we can do is
try our best to hear what the patients need actually ,
not just invent a new machine but it charges high price on patient,it is unfair.As a responsible engineer,we should not only focus on the profit of the product,but also need to look into the effect of the product.As a biomedical engineer,it is going to become important and more important.
we are not god ,right,but at least we can try our best to make the world better.
maybe it will cost a reduction on the money we earn ,
but at least,
we do not have any regret when face our lives,our next generation ,our country and ourselves.
i will be glad if anyone leave comment to share your opinion to biomedical engineer ,i will always be there to listen your opinion ,to share your story ,to be your friend in biomedical fields
