I view the practice of medicine from a different perspective and those who choose to go into medicine with respect and new found compassion. The relentless mental, physical and emotional demands are incomparable to any other job.(except possibly, to that of teaching) the toll it takes in every aspect of ones life relentless.

“Do not ask your children
to strive for extraordinary lives.
Such striving may seem admirable,
but it is the way of foolishness.
Help them instead to find the wonder
and the marvel of an ordinary life.
Show them the joy of tasting
tomatoes, apples and pears.
Show them how to cry
when pets and people die.
Show them the infinite pleasure
in the touch of a hand.
And make the ordinary come alive for them.
The extraordinary will take care of itself.”
