Your #Health Today
The +961 Daily
When I arrived at my office this morning, I was pleasantly surprised to find homemade sweets nicely wrapped in a holiday theme. A grateful patient and her husband has written the sweetest words in a “thank you” card. It made my day. This was enough to put me in the holiday spirit.
It is important to be reminded of the impact we have on other people’s lives. It motivates me to continue doing the best I can and reminds of the core values that motivated to pursue medicine as a career.
"Thank You" card from my patient
After a long on call night at the hospital, delivering a baby that died inside his mother’s womb, diagnosing a patient with advanced stage cancer and metastasis to the vagina, I arrive at my office in my scrubs (I usually like to wear a suite to my office), tired and with red eyes after two hours of sleep.
My first patient of the day gave me a grateful hug, a “Thank You” card, and a thoughtful gift. That made all the difference and reminded me why I love doing what I do.
