If you are a doctor, everywhere you hear or read about all that is wrong in medicine. Please do not get me wrong, the medical profession is under assault. Change is occurring all around us, and much of it has the potential to be disastrous to not only us and our families, but more importantly to our patients. For many of us in the profession, we feel helpless. We feel as though everything we have worked for and dreamed about for as long as we could remember is being taken away.
Yes, times are tough in medicine, and though no one can predict our future, we can create our future. We are not powerless. We have all heard, with great change comes great opportunity. This is as true today as it has ever been. We just need to start looking for it in the right places, and it is my opinion we need to stop trying to resist change and welcome it.
The first thing we need to do is fall back in love with medicine. We need to go back to our age of innocence when all we wanted to do was serve people. That is where the salvation of our calling to improve the lives of the people we care for exists.
