The accomplishment of becoming a doctor is something which very few of us are able to do and those who have done it deserve our respect. People like Dr. Ryan Shephard have to study incredibly hard in order to get to where they are and even once the education is finsihed, the life of a doctor is one which is far from easy. Dr. Ryan Shephard is one of the most professional and widely respected doctors that I know and if you have dreams of one day becoming a doctor, learning from what he does so well could greatly inspire you to keep going and be the best doctor that you can be. I wanted to take a look at some of the attributes which he displays, in order to inspire you to pursue your dream.

Empathetic

You would think that all doctors should be empathetic but sadly this is not always the case, with many doctors viewing the human body the same way that a mechanic may look at a car. In the case of Dr. Shephard however this is not the case and he is full of empathy for all manner of situations. When people go to the doctor they not only want to be cured, they also want to feel safe and respected and that is what Ryan is able to do with his patients.

Calm Under Pressure

Dr. Ryan is always calm under pressure and I have even seen him in a situation where someone has arrested, and Dr. Shephard was able to administer CPR. In this situation everyone else was losing their heads and yet he was able to step up, stay calm and use his training to help save lives.

Communication

Dr. Shephard is very engaging when you speak with him and I would say that it is his communication skills which are one of his best qualities. When the doctor is explaining something to one of his patients he doesn’t speak to them like they were stupid, instead seeking to offer a full and complete explanation which can help the patient understand what is going on.

Community

It was clear from an early stage that Dr. Shephard would go on to do something positive in the community and for a long while we thought he would grow up to be in the local services. As it happened the doctor was far more intelligent than we gave him credit for and he went on to become a phenomenal doctor.

Leadership

Dr. Shephard now takes on a leadership role in the local hospital, sharing knowledge and advice with his charges and helping them to become better healthcare professionals. This is just another example of how Dr. Shephard likes to help others and whether he is treating them or educating them, he does so with aplomb.

If you want to be a doctor, Ryan Shephard is the perfect person to model yourself on.
