Advancements in medicine are an integral part of its development as a science. Though medicine’s importance is obvious, it is often regarded as a field or subject that is essentially mundane. Some people feel that medicine as a field is complex and difficult, while others have a deep-rooted passion for helping make the field more approachable and interactive. One such individual is a medical influencer on social media - Ethan Smallwood.
Medicine, as an industry, is facing a two-pronged dilemma. On the one hand, students are apprehensive about pursuing a career in medicine, because they believe it to be difficult and stressful. On the other hand, a majority of patients have certain notions about the field, which further give rise to myths. Doctor Ethan is making every effort to remedy this situation. He has a strong digital presence. With more than 100,000 followers on Instagram, he decided to share his journey in medicine with the rest of the world, patients and medical professionals alike.
