@ChristinaBooks@John_Dabell Perfectly said. Incurable lemonade prescribed, bottled and given to all who read his posts. We cannot fathom how hard it is for John to be optimistic but we can try to drink the lemonade.
@anishmoonka Spend time with Peds patients who are fighting a war against disease. Their wisdom, intelligence, courage & intuition is unmatched. They become unwitting medical school scholars at a tender age. Their strength is remarkable. It is both awe-inspiring & soul-crushing to witness.
@Jessicam6946 He had a very intimidating presence so patients would likely be reluctant to complain. Admin did warn him. Ironically he was known for his stellar surgical skills. Docs & nurses would request him when they needed surgery.
@YoniFreedhoff I think knowing, acknowledging & admitting that we cannot 'hack it emotionally' is the smartest hack of all. It's a display of self respect & respect for the profession. Every unit, every area of medicine requires strengths & skills. When done well it deserves such respect.
@John_Dabell Such a gorgeous photo! It looks like a painting. You definitely have to print this one and put it in a frame. Congratulations! May your love continue to be a blessing today and going forward ๐
