God is the healer

Tue May 03, 2016 6:27 am

"Remember--God is the healer and we are only his hands.

Remember that all you're going to learn in becoming a doctor is going to give you the tools to take care of patients.

Remember--first and foremost--you're a caregiver, someone who should always heal with compassion. Don't ever let the rigors of medical school take that away from you. It's going to b e a very grueling four years and they're going to try to beat out your humanism. Don't let that happen. That's the most valuable thing you can bring to your patients."
