The theory aspect is to let you understand the underlying factors, symptoms and reasoning behind the practice and emergencies in order to be able to infer and act accordingly. So for every theory you learn try to connect it to the practical working knowledge and experience.

Medical technology is more of a vocation than pure work. Human life and quality of life are at stake so be passionate, patient, loving and understanding and very sacrificial.
