(2021·河南、湖南两省联考)Five years ag, I tk a career risk by leaving my jb t wrk n a ship. My medical friends did their best t persuade me, saying that running away t sea wuld ruin my career. But after these years wrking as a dctr, I am glad I had taken the risk.
Hungry fr adventures, I barded a ship in Singapre with 2，000 passengers and crew. T my relief, the hspital n bard was well equipped, with an X­ray machine. That first vyage was a learning experience with a tight schedule full f safety drills. There was s much new infrmatin t take in.Even remembering which unifrm t wear each day was a challenge.Mst cnfusing, I ften frgt t set my clck when the ship crssed time znes.
As a dctr，I was respnsible fr 600 crew, and I was n call fr the entire ship. Far frm treating seasickness and sunburn, I had t deal with ther diseases, fr my patients were wide and varied. The ship's medical center was actually a flating emergency rm, and we didn't have a team f specialists n hand fr a secnd pinin.With lng and unpredictable hurs, it required mental tughness.
As yu can guess, many f the passengers were elderly，heart attacks didn't care abut gegraphy and emergency evacuating(疏散) was difficult t arrange. I recall ne such patient, wh was taken ff the ship halfway thrugh the Panama Canal. After a terrifying ride in an ld ambulance, I was relieved that the patient survived lng enugh t arrive at the hspital in Panama City.
Thankfully, there were several unexpected benefits f the jb. I regularly enjyed the passenger facilities and I even hsted dinners fr passengers in the evenings. On rare days ff，I vlunteered as a tur guide n trips ashre. I gt t fly ver Alaska in a seaplane and watched a ballet in St. Petersburg.
Nw, I understand being a ship dctr is nt a jb—it's a way f life.One year at sea became tw.I lst my career ambitins, but I redefined happiness in my life.
