This struck me in particular:<br /><br />"my neurosurgeon father had told me that when doctor and patients ceased to share a cup of coffee at the family kitchen table, something irreplaceable was missed"<br /><br />A great deal is packed into that one statement.<br /><br />(Also impressed by your reference to Ram Dass ;-) )Jeff Eygeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11967707883565162538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8705432279177203509.post-49838303420739358372020-04-03T10:34:38.903-07:002020-04-03T10:34:38.903-07:00Thank you Budd and Arthur for being yourselves.

I love being a pediatrician but have a hard time finding a setting that lets me be me. I was let go in September and now approach trying a teaching position as well as telemedicine. It is through caring for my husband (my biggest challenge right now is trying to keep him from doing too many physically difficult projects at home)(isn't that wonderful?) that I learned how important daily living activities matter. This togetherness as we discuss what our days look like and how we want to spend our time together has taught me more about caring for someone than all of medical school and practicing medicine. So important for physician training to cover human living.Dr Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10222760231256973755noreply@blogger.com
