Leaving the Bedside is Like…

•    Finishing a marathon – you stop, grab a water bottle, drink some and pour the rest over your head.  And only then, when you have stopped, looked back, and thought about the start of the race, do you see the incredible effort it took. •    A death in the family, especially if an injury, accident, or illness forces you to stop practicing (mine is a long sad story that happened almost 20 years ago and I would rather not reveal, review, or relive that, at least right now).  For many patients, losing their doctor is like losing a member of the family.
