Carlos Simón Duque

by Ana Maria from Medellin

Carlos Simón is a doctor for noses. He is a doctor because his family said it was fun. Carlos looks at lots of people or patients with lots of different health. He doesn’t remember his first patient but he thinks it was easy. He said, “The first person I looked at with a doctor who was teaching me." His parents and their friend that were also doctors helped him when he started.

When he was finishing high school, he was sure he was going to be a doctor. When he finished, he went to medical school. With long hours of practicing with a teacher teaching him about it and studying, finally he went to a village where he started his professional life. He said there were sad and happy moments being a doctor and operating but most of the time there were happy moments. When something goes wrong, he gets scared and doesn’t know what to do so he is afraid that something bad can happen to the patient.

Carlos is a nice doctor that likes to help people with problems, like cancer and others that need to be removed quickly so that the patient doesn’t get very ill or even die. He helps people because he really likes to help. Once when his daughter got sick, he looked at her and helped her. He had been a doctor for 2 years when he operated every day with other doctors combating all type of problems. He likes his job because he thinks it is important.
