The Blog

The temptation to quit is a traitor. It does not announce itself boldly during the peak of your work load, often you are too preoccupied to ponder on your lack of a life. Instead, it sneaks in during that silent minute in between surgeries, as you slump on the floor and wait for the next patient to be brought it; it sits in one corner as you wait for the elevator doors to open, you holding both stretcher bed and oxygen tank and it’s only an hour past midnight; it whispers in your ear, to wake you up from a nap on the first Sunday afternoon that you get to spend at home in a long time; it holds open your bedroom door, as you don your white coat, grab your stethoscope and keys, and rush to your morning rounds.

Only the patients whom you serve will keep you moving forward. Not pride. Not your family. Not even your ambition.
