Do you think you're still being so young at 19?

To understand love, to understand life, to understand the losses... even to understand death.

A 19 year old is not meant to understand ANY of that...that is what life experience is all about. Like school. You don't know much about anything in kindergarten do you?

@Fernie Maybe you are right and I am not meant to understand any of that, just as a 5 year old is not meant to understand integral calculus.

I am Mexican and when I was in Kinder Garden mexican law alow parents to get their kids into elementary school once they learn to read, I learned to read at the age of 4 and started it. So I started college at 16. And right now I am a med student and on my medical intership.

But I really don't understand my patients, I understand the physiological process, I understand anatomy, and I understand diseases but I don't understand their lifes and why they have to die or why their lifes are like this.

And older intern doctors do understand this things perfectly and they say: "you don't understand because you are so young" and that's the reason of my question.

@AndyC No one wants to hear that they are too young to understand something...but, it's a fact. You can't relate to your patients yet because you have no frame of reference...yet. Accept where you are in life, do not try to know more than you do and it will go much smoother for you
