As a member of the general population, we see physicians as those who were born with a calling. Though society acknowledges that becoming a doctor is difficult, it is near impossible to fathom exactly what that title entails.
I was raised in a small rural community in which resources were quite limited. The nearest grocery store was a 35-minute drive away, there were no coffee shops or traffic lights, and we had but one physician. To me, he was for all intents and purposes an android functioning without waiver to keep our community alive. This doctor was an entity like the Oracle in the Matrix: never faltering if faced with the nightmares of trauma, and never flinching when witnessing human excessive emotion.
I decided at 15 years of age to become a physician.
