“The young doctor should look about early for an avocation, a pastime, that will take him/her away from patients, pills, and potions…No one is really happy or safe without one.”

— William Osler M.D., The Medical Library in Post-graduate Work (1909). (via mednerds)

Today I had a teenager come into my office for follow up and say, "So I finally started doing all the things you've been telling me to do for the past year and I feel a lot better. Thanks for being so patient with me."

I obviously took this as an opportunity to say, "Nope, I'm the doctor, you're the patient! :D " and they rolled their eyes at how corny I am and then I told them seriously it was my pleasure and I was just so glad to hear they were feeling better

But it's moments like this that make me happy and proud to be a Family Doc
