Example of Good ROUGH Draft: This draft still needs to be revised and edited, but it can serve as a good example for people struggling where to start. There are about six hundred and 10 thousand deaths every year in the United States from heart diseases. Many people have seen Cardiologists or Cardiovascular Surgeons to recuperate these diseases. My great-grandmother has had issues with her heart rate and blood pressure either being too high or too low. She saw a Cardiologist and they gave her a Pace-Maker to regulate her heart rate and blood pressure. The Pace-Maker now helps her heart rate and blood pressure to not go below seventy beats per minute. Seeing a Cardiologist makes her feel alive and much better than what she has felt. Cardiologists are important to anyone with any blood or heart issues or complications. Cardiovascular Surgeons can succeed in the profession by saving lives, having a phenomenal education, and succeeding in certain operations or surgeries. Cardiovascular Surgeon is another name for a Heart Surgeon. These surgeons can treat or repair any damage done to the thorax area of the body by operating on the heart and blood vessels. They also operate on the body’s main blood supplier, the aorta. Cardiovascular Surgeons will remain care for their patients even after exhausting operations. These surgeons go through a lot of blood work, vessels, and heart operations to save lives. There are some Cardiovascular Surgeons that make up to five-hundred thousand dollars a year. Cardiovascular Surgeons have a challenging experience in their lives by working in the occupation. Prior to becoming a Cardiovascular Surgeon you must have some educational requirements. You will need to have a Premedical degree, and a Doctor of Medicine degree. You will also need four years of Medical School, a five-year general surgery residency, and then a two-year Cardiothoracic Surgery Residency. All doctors must have a license to become of what occupation they desire. There is a lot of education and training required for becoming a Cardiovascular Surgeon. These requirements will help any believer of becoming a Cardiovascular Surgeon. One important aspect of becoming a Cardiovascular Surgeon is the advancement opportunities. There are surgeries and operation such as heart defect repair, coronary artery bypass, heart valve replacement, heart transplantation, and transmyocardial laser revascularization that Cardiovascular Surgeons can perform to increase the chances of getting a higher rank or a promotion. They must succeed in these as well to get a pay raise in salary. Most Cardiovascular Surgeons get around fifty-hundred thousand dollars a year in salary. The more opportunities these surgeons have of high-risk or difficult operations they get will increase the amount of having a higher position in the occupation. The increases will depend on mostly what types of operations or performances they succeed in. These opportunities will boost the chances of raising the higher position, salary, and higher rank. “Dr. Mona G. Flores is the director of ventricular assist devices for the division of Cardiothoracic Surgery at University of California, Davis, Medical Center in Sacramento,” said by the Student Doctor Network website. Dr. Mona G. Flores says, “Actual hours worked are between forty and eighty depending on the week.” This states that there are many hours worked for most Cardiovascular Surgeons. She also states that her medical studies “are not as hard as everyone makes them out to be.” According to Dr. Mona G. Flores, most Cardio surgeries are always on call and operating on patients. “Catheter skills are a must for Cardiac Surgery,” says Dr. Mona. She describes how there are many Cardiovascular Surgeons that do not spend a lot of time with their families or other friends and relatives because of how much they work and that these surgeons need to understand that they will have to make many sacrifices while in the profession. She also describes how much the daily practice would improve the skills. Dr. Mona G. Flores states many different descriptions of what the life of a Cardiovascular Surgeon is like. I myself would qualify for this career in the future. I personally believe in myself for the responsibilities for this occupation. The things I will need to qualify for the job would be challenging but not impossible for me. I would need daily practice, hard-working skills, mature responsibilities, and lots of education and medical school. Plus, I can take the blood. I would also need to start studying as much as possible to qualify starting today. It will be challenging, but I can accept the challenge of the qualities. These qualities will help understand to get me to where I want to be standing in the future.
