🏥 I went to discharge a toddler from the hospital and found a medical student in the room carefully bandaging her owl stuffy who had a “broken wing”. He left the toddler clear “stuffy care instructions” and some stickers.
The future of medicine is bright ☀️
after listening to the news this morning 14 yr old says:
“It’s strange that people think that a vaccine that has helped millions of people will kill them but a virus that has killed millions of people won’t.”
Med students, I’m sorry I can’t write you a letter of recommendation, but I can let you FaceTime me in the middle of your interview so I can tell the interviewer several made up anecdotes that may or may not help your chances
Me: I’m afraid I have some bad news
Patient: doctor, before you say anything else, I’m sorry you’ve had to bear this burden
Me: <speechless at such selflessness>
