Your choice is your own. Our jobs will not become Humane on their own, boundaries will not create themselves and, as you aptly stated, moments lost. To be a physician first always is to cheat yourself, your family and ultimately your patients. When you face your family falling apart and have to choose between your wife and children, or patients. Will you really choose those you serve above those who have only you as their father? Those who don't have a choice. Those who wonder why your job that they don't really understand means more to you than they do. It's not that you see it that way, you don't. It's that they do. Choose wisely.Cynthia Archer, MD, "recovered" primary care internal medicine doctornoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6296669137299786155.post-81225181975743892202013-09-01T07:14:20.763-07:002013-09-01T07:14:20.763-07:00You tell us about things we should all be aware of...You tell us about things we should all be aware of. Important issues of life, death, compassion and responsibilities and how they overlap. Life is like that when a person is passionate. Some of the lessons are learned, not from what we think is important when we are growing up, but what we know through our parents. Untold stories we see through example. That is where lessons of compassion, ethics and values are learned. You teach lessons to your children by the kind of person you are.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
