From nurse to hospital-doctor and and now having a private clinic for apitherapy.
After graduating from high school, I took an exam to become a financial economist, but I didn't pass. Actually most of my friends went to the medical college to become a nurse. After graduating in 1992, I worked as such at a State Hospital for 5 years. In that period of time my husband and I met and we got married.
In 1998, I entered the National University of Medical Sciences to study anthropology. While I was studying, I gave birth to a daughter Yesui and after I graduated from school, we had a son, Munkh. When he was 1 year old, I enrolled in intensive care and anesthesia.
That’s the time when my husband and I began to go to church for the purpose of breaking free from certain serious issues in our lives.
However after graduating, I got a job as an intensive care doctor and anesthesiologist at the National Center for Maternal and Child Health, which means that I worked day and night, unable to find time for anything other than work.
Now that I think about it, I was very happy then because in these four years, I learnt all the skills that a doctor should have… and I completed my education.
In this period of time, I think God guided me and prepared me for the future. However I was extremely busy with no time for family-life. After talking together we decided that I should take a shift which led me to start studying acupuncture. But in 2012, while studying acupuncture, our family was terribly hit as my husband contracted a viral disease called Guillain Barre syndrome. Consequently I quit my job and took care of my husband at the intensive care unit of the First National Central Hospital. His situation worsened. My husband's arms and legs became immobile and he was placed in a respirator. However after three months, he got out of the respirator and was able to come home.
During and after the hospital stay, God was with our family and gave us the energy and courage to move forward. Maybe everything was prepared for this season and we searched for a cure with unshakable faith and tried all options together. Meanwhile I had graduated with my studies about acupuncture and began to treat my husband.
In the spring of 2013, I heard about a bee venom treatment and decided to learn about it. We started the treatment and it was so effective that he was able to walk around our home with a medical four legged crutches. The new situation made it possible for me to start working again as a acupuncturist in a private hospital. The same year I studied again as a rehabilitation therapist and continued to treat my husband with bee venom.
Two years later he was able to walk on crutches and drive our car.
It was a wonderful situation even all the doctors said it was an incurable disease. The fact that my husband was driving was simply a miracle.
Inspired by this, I attended bee-keeping training in Russia in the summer of 2015, worked in this field, and in 2017 my own private clinic was established.
Despite the difficult times of the past years, God has helped me to be more patient, more peaceful, and more resilient than before. And I'm getting to know myself better and I'm filled with God.
