There is a rhythm to medicine.
You’re first exposed to it in med school.
The Patient, presenting with the Problem, and then the search for the Path forward.
Like the rhythmic thumps and pauses of a heartbeat.
Sometimes flowing, sometimes stopping and starting jarringly. 1/

So the lead ant feels its way along my finger, until it finds a way around. One brave ant climbs my finger and makes its way over the top. Both meet on the other side, and the rhythm is re-established.
My finger is no longer the end of the road. Just a bump in it. 12/

I have this habit of telling my office staff I believe in them. It started as a pep talk thing, but now it’s just how I end almost every conversation with my staff. “I believe in you!”
Found this note on my desk after a brutal commute with a long clinic day ahead.
We got this!
