"One more thing," the patient says, right when I'm about to exit the exam room.
I used to be annoyed by it. Until one day, a patient's "one more thing" was actually "the" thing she wanted to say. But she needed to feel me out and make sure I was a safe person first. So, I sat back down and listened. Then we discussed and ran tests.
"You restored my faith in doctors." She took the bus just to tell me this today after making a full recovery. Her visit filled my heart with warmth and purpose.
If we ask people to wait for months for their appointments, then (sometimes) hours in our offices, we can hear them out for their one more thing.
If we can’t laugh at people, who have everything to live for, making a completely unforced error, to satisfy their own massive egos… I’m not sure what comedy is anymore.

Remember it’s REALLY hard to get into medical school. Everyone who gets in is smart. Whether you got your first choice or didn’t match,you’re an exceptional person with a bright future.
medicine is hard and the match process is absolutely brutal. if you went #unmatched and are participating in #SOAP23#SOAP2023 and need an anonymous listening ear that gets it, call the Physician Support Line. they’ll listen, talk you through whatever, and help

@nprpolitics We need more residency spots to accommodate the current existing number of graduates each year with medical degrees. # of degrees > # of training positions and that is exclusively controlled by the federal government.
