Life as an intern

busy
stressed
being stretched to another level
can be political
MUST work hard

and..have never felt that I need God so badly

When life gets busier, it is hard to remain compassionate. Every complaint, request and even patient him/herself, can be obstacles to sleep, rest and toilet time.

God, can You please teach me how to be a doctor again?
