I have been doing what I do, for quite awhile... and before that, I was still sorta doing what I do now. Add them together, and I have been doing this for a very long time!
Over the years, medically speaking, there have been many advancements, changes, new drugs, and an assortment of new tests, procedures, technology, etc... So much so, that if one doesn't take the time to independently research, study, and learn, one will easily be left behind! Yet there are some things that never change.
I have been working these past three nights, and have learned that I did not know the true definition of "busy," "chaotic," and "really?!"
Last night, I was reminded (that is re-learned) to trust those "gut feelings" that something is not right. I won't ever know if I saved a life... no one truly ever does. Yet I do know, that I impacted several lives by changing the course of treatment for one of my patients.
I guess I am a dinosaur that missed my appointment with extinction...
