To give some perspective as a physician, this is an absolutely fantastic way to spend my time away from the hospital. I'm on an oncology rotation during my internal medicine residency right now, and I'm proud to be apart of this community for what we're doing here. Discussing cancer and prognosis with patients is one of the toughest parts of medicine but I find these moments to be the most rewarding because of the interactions I have with these patients, and almost every interaction I have shows the best of humanity in how people behave in the face of the worst. I unfortunately deliver a lot of news about metastatic cancer, but I cannot begin to explain the strength I see in these people and the gratefulness I see in people who encounter the worst. Thank everyone here for everything you all do. You inspire not only those facing the worst but also those of us who need to be the ones who remain resolute in fighting these terrible conditions despite how tough it can be. |
