I would like to tell you about the profession of a doctor. It is very prestigious, demanding and important profession nowadays. I think this profession requires a lot of skills and knowledge. The doctor should be attentive, tactful, ready to help the people who need, optimistic and accurate to be able to listen to the patient complaints, diagnose a case and prescribe the right treatment. The right treatment requires from doctor a high qualification and good knowledge. The doctor should also be selfless, to be always on duty, be ready to come to the patient at any time, even when he himself is sick. And now I would like to describe the typical day of the doctor. I am sure that the day of the doctor starts very early in the morning with long jogging and a cold shower. Then the doctor has breakfast and go to work. The work includes the examination of a patient, treatment and prescription of necessary medicine. When the works finishes the doctor come home, does household chores about the house, spend his free time reading a book, going for walk, listening to music or going to the cinema or theatre.
