Re: Every medic has the potential to support the creation of a just world

I found George Webster’s article really powerful. Even though I am only a GCSE student, it made me think about how medicine is not just about science, but also about people and fairness. The examples of doctors and activists from history show that healthcare is linked to justice, and that doctors can make a difference not just in hospitals, but in society.
As someone considering medicine in the future, I think it is important that medical schools teach more than just biology and clinical skills. If future doctors are aware of inequality and can listen to the voices of patients from all backgrounds, they will be able to provide better care. I was especially struck by the point about diversifying the medical workforce and making access to medical school fairer. This matters because patients need to see themselves represented, and students from every background should have the same chances.
This article has shown me that being a doctor means more than just treating illness—it means speaking up for people and working towards a fairer world. That is both a challenge and an inspiration.
