Reminder that your medical degree and/or employer won’t hold you at night after a horrible day or wish you happy birthday or remember your favorite things. Your SO, friends, & family will. Medicine, like everything else, is a job. Sacrificing your personal life isn’t worth it.

"Kash" is the saddest word, no word has more pain than this one. It represents longing, broken dreams, promises, and plans. It remembers what could have been. It represents what you hoped happened but didn't and it would have changed everything for you.
