grateful

...for what I learn from my patients, my attendings, and my students.

...for being present in people's lives when they are the most vulerable and being in a position to offer comfort.

...for whatever abilities I have to do my job.

...to belong to a profession that prides itself in the care of others.

...to be able to experience life-long learning in an ever changing world.

...for the health of my friends and family.


Happy Thanksgiving
