Fred Hampton Is New Here

[Brian37]

Nope.

I'm still finding my job challenging and satisfying.  Because of the way medicine is advancing in leaps and bounds, there's always something new to learn.

Hell, I went to London last year and did my first heart transplant.  I was a nervous wreck beforehand and afterwards (never let a patient know that or they immediately lose confidence in you and worry more), but I did it successfully (supervised, of course), and the patient is alive and well.

I believe that, in medicine, as in most occupations, you have to have a passion for it or you need to find something new.

In that business, or say even cop or military, you don't have time to worry or have emotions. Even pilots. I like what Sully said to a reporter when they asked him if he said a prayer before landing the jet on the Hudson, "I didn't have time". 

I couldn't do those jobs. I admire anyone who can. You really have to have nerves of steel and control. Call me if you want a poem written. Even my mom's nursing home and the staff. They see death all the time. I don't envy them, but they are very dedicated and brave.
