This could be a definition of parenting. It brings you to both ends of the emotional spectrum and all points between, day after day, year after year. This includes even after the youngsters are long gone from "the nest."
I had training on Tuesday for an upcoming simulated patient gig. This activity has been very eye-opening for me. I personally am not very enamored with the medical profession as I believe it is completely insurance-driven, not patient-driven. Seeing these students in action impresses upon me how much they have to know, and what a hit-or-miss profession doctoring is. This encounter involves an exam of a patient who is simply "much more tired than usual." In "real" life, that could be a result of any number of things, and they are expected to figure it out in a very short time (because we know the speedy clock most docs operate under). I believe these students truly want to help people. I do wonder how much training or information they get on the behemoth that is the health insurance industry.
Continuing, one day at a time,
