Q1: How would you introduce yourself in 3 words?
I am Practical. I am Realistic. I am Fulfilling.
Q2: at what age, did you decide to become a vet?
I was 19 years old. I originally dreamed of becoming a celebrity. But I decided to become a doctor for my mother. When I was 19 years old, my life was already full of ups and downs. And I became a doctor for animals eventually.
Q3: What do you like the most for being a vet?
It’s the opportunity to deeply understand people’s emotions by meeting diverse individuals. Observing various pet owners, I learn many virtues through their struggles and experiences.
Q4: One sentence that describes your value as a vet.
I believe that healing lives goes beyond mere medical practice—it is a path that makes the world warmer and more fulfilling.
Q5: Can you share one memorable moment in your career as a vet?
Every moment is meaningful, but what stays with me the most is comforting pet owners rather than personal achievements. When I empathize with their sorrow and stand by their side, I am reminded of the true meaning of being a veterinarian.
Q6: What is your expertise (pursuing focus)?
It is the process of performing surgery and providing care for critical patients.
Q7: What do you like the most about CardioBird?
What I like the most is that it streamlines pre-surgical exams for critical patients. ECG is important, but I also like how it improves the hospital environment, making the clinic more comfortable.
Since ECG analysis can be tricky for vets, AI helps by providing objective insights, making it much easier. It also keeps vets updated with the latest trends in the field.
Overall, CardioBird enhances the hospital atmosphere and is easy to use for both vets and technicians, making it a highly useful tool.
Q8: You must have a dream. What do you want to achieve through your profession? or as a human?
Living a life that does not harm those around me and creating a world where pet owners find peace and happiness through the healing of their animals.
