Hello SDN,
I tend not to post often, but I lurk a lot. I spend a lot of time reading threads and articles on SDN. There was a comment made by @Med Ed on a WAMC thread a few months ago that I had kept and wanted to share:
"...One of the reasons medicine can be so disillusioning is that some people who enter the field tie their happiness and self-worth to the concept of being a physician. Then you become one and realize that happiness and self-worth aren't something you achieve with a career milestone. They were inside you all along, you were just so transfixed by your goals that you failed to noticed them. Then you feel stupid. ..."
Interpret it as you will. I found it to be relevant to my life, and wanted to share it.
