Today

Today you will have patients who are rude, unappreciative, and uncaring.

Like you, they are imperfect.

In the same circumstances, you would act the same.

⸻

So don’t become upset.

Instead, be thankful.

⸻

This is what you wished for.

This is what you worked for.

⸻

To heal.

To relieve suffering.

To help another person at their most vulnerable.

⸻

Do not forget.

What you do is sacred.

⸻

Because in the end, we are all the same.

All of us just trying to find relief

from the suffering this life brings.
