We learn how to take care of our patients. We learn how to take care of each other, both in and outside of the hospital. Sometimes we fail, and sometimes unavoidable bad things happen for which we always blame ourselves. But sometimes we succeed, in small ways, and occasionally in spectacular ways. We do things we never thought we’d be able to do. We grow into our white coats. We learn how to be the doctors that our patients need for us to be, without losing the essential humanity that brought us here in the first place.

I can't think of a single reason why I should be a doctor, but I can think of a thousand reasons why I should quit. They make it hard on purpose. There are lives in our hands. There comes a moment when it's more than just a game, and you either take that step forward or turn around and walk away. I could quit but here's the thing, I love the playing field. [MG]
