Thoughts Unabridged

medicine is a sacred art. that is what i am beginning to appreciate. i should take medicine devoutly because of the direct effect of my attitude and judgement to the client's life. that means, my judgement must be very informed and rational and as per current medical practice. for the best of the patient — to relieve pain and suffering; to promote health and to improve the prognosis. and that is what to me, makes a good doctor!

the destination is in my mind. i am euphoric and overwhelmed by the prospect of joining wits mbchb program straight into the 3rd year and not having to go through the foundation years.  i am reminding myself to not see the long wait(2-3 years to join the program) as a chore and to instead think of it as a stepping stone. that is thinking of the journey more as the gift and not the destination. the journey is the gift.
