Waiting on the world to change

Its been a while since I wrote anything on this blog, so much has happened...

Human nature rears its ugly head when you least expect it. Tired, emotional and unable to write about it on this blog, I choose to reflect on work while waiting on the world to change. John Mayer sure can sing the right songs.

Accident and emergency medicine has brought back the spark of love I had for this job. One I thought was fading fast. Everyday brings new patients, new cases, people who cross my path perhaps only once for the rest of their lives.

Along with it you see the heartache, people struggling to survive, women who sit shaking with fear in their eyes, badly bruised, victims of domestic violence.

Then there are moments where you can't help but smile such as a small child peers around a corner as his mother waits to pick his prescription, pure mischief on his face.

Time seems to speed up sometimes, patients become a constant blur of sound and color. And then there are times when you feel the world come to a standstill as you break bad news.
