most days, i absolutely love playing doctor. i like being paged... "dr. cruz, please call blah blah blah." i love it when i have all the time in the world to take care of my patients. i love it when i know exactly what i need to do for them. i love it when i don't have to hurry and cut them off as they tell me their personal story. i love it when they ask me for a hug afterwards. i love the days when i feel that i have made a difference by simply expressing that i care a lot that they get well.
of course not all days are perfect. there are days that there are so many details to attend to that i have to ration my time. there are days that i resent the patient who is abusing the system. there are days when i can't wait to go home and maybe not come back.
but today was not that kind of day. today was great. and i just want to write this today so that i'll remember that most days are fun. most days make me smile and look forward to the next day.
