The answer to our problems is in what Salman Rushdie said: "We must tell better stories than the tyrants."

Posting this to remind other health care workers too. We do our best every day for every patient but we cannot slay the monsters of health inequity alone.
Someone wise reminded me recently that these difficulties I have in managing patients are because of larger systemic problems (our government, our health care system, wealth inequality, a culture of corruption etc) and that I shouldnโt take them as personal failures.
