Abstract
“Walk a mile in someone else’s shoes” is a reminder to practice empathy. Reading about the diseases in a textbook but encountering that disease is a nightmare. This article highlights the feeling of a medical student being a patient and learning from the experience. Learning from the experience will always be deeply seated in the person. It provides readers with a better understanding to practice empathy as a medical student and knowledge of the treatment of hemoptysis.
