【white coat ceremony】

那一天，校方为我们这一班举办了个白衣典礼。
在被通知有这个仪式时，心里头顿时对之萧然起敬。

这不是一般的仪式，这仪式 象征着我们对这工作的认真,
还有那即将背起的责任。
这不是一般的科系，所学的 都不能马虎
不能单为考试而学，不能草草了事
因知道，所学的一点一滴，都是关乎人命的
少了一丁点的知识，搞不好，就会让人白白因你而丧失了生命，
就因为一句“我不会”

这一个仪式，再次提醒了我，这该负的责任。

两年前的我，怎么也不会想到，这一天 的来临吧。
两年前，懵懵懂懂，还迷恋于世俗玩乐的我，该不会想到，
有一天，会有一个这么认真读书的我的存在吧。
从中四开始，对学业开始抱着得过且过的态度。
纵然有去补习，做了很多练习，却也总是心不在焉的
心里头从不把成绩看成一回事
总凭着自己的小聪明，考个可以过的成绩，就认为很了不起了
对于身边那些总把成绩看得比什么都重要的朋友，总是很不解
觉得，他们太浪费这宝贵的青春在这些无聊的事上了，
不过是个成绩嘛，有什么大不了的？

当医生，是从小到大的梦想
然而，从没很认真地看待这梦想
只是自负的认为，要实现这梦想，没什么难的啦！
当梦想差点儿要破碎了，才猛然惊醒，
才发现，过去的自己是多么的愚蠢
才发现 ，原来真正浪费了青春的，是那个无知的我。

还好，神总不撇下我，虽然我总爱疏远他，
他仍然执意为我等待，给我安排最好的。
因神的大恩典，我有了第二、也是最后的机会
就是来这里，实现梦想。
决定来这里之前，针扎了许久
总怀疑，自己是否真能办到
害怕，又是一个失败的开始
迷惑，这到底是不是神所指引的道路？
还好，神总透过身边的天使们，给我鼓励，给我信心，赐我力量，
让我得以勇敢地往前走。
连一直以来甚少插手为我决定事情的民主妈妈，
也突然很热心的四处为我寻找学医的门路
最后，终于决定了
来这里。

时隔两年了，
回头张望，恍如隔世
转眼间，已来到第一学年的尾声
转眼间，我已不再是原来的我
转眼间，我已脱离了旧我，有了个新身份，有了个新生命
想想，还真不可思议。
黄毛丫头也有长大的一天，而这一天，若没有父，是不可能成就的。

从旧我的瓦解、破碎
到新我的重整、愈合
这一路
只因有主
我才得以走过来…

存着感恩的心，随着放在胸前的手，慎重的宣布：

At the time of being permitted to be a physician in training,

I, . MA YEE YIUN solemnly take the following pledge:

I acknowledge and accept the privileges and responsibilities given to me today as a physician in training and promise not to misuse them

I will approach all aspects of my medical education with honesty and integrity, embracing opportunities to learn from patients, teachers and colleagues

I will value the knowledge and wisdom of the physicians who have preceded me

I will record only that, which I have personally verified

I will recognize my weaknesses and strengths and strive to develop those qualities that will earn the respect of my patients, my colleagues, my family and myself

I will respect the humanity, rights and decisions of all patients and will attend to them with compassion and without bias

I will maintain patient confidentiality and be tactful in my words and actions

I will value the diversity of patients' cultures, beliefs and values because it enriches my learning experiences and enhances my capacity to care

I will remember that there is an art to medicine as well as a science and that warmth, empathy and understanding are integral to quality patient care

I will strive to earn the trust my patients place in me and the respect that society places upon my profession

Even as a student, I have a responsibility to improve the standard of health in my community, to increase access to care for the underserved and to advance medical knowledge.

I commit myself to a lifelong journey of learning how to cure, relieve and comfort with humility and compassion

As I accept these new responsibilities, I will not forget the importance of my own health and well-being

I, MA YEE YIUN promise to act to preserve the finest traditions of my calling and may I long experience the joy of healing those who seek my help.

父，
