Happy Doctors Day - What i learnt from Doctors during my BMT journey
1. Heightened Awareness with equanimity
Doctors have this incredible level of awareness that enables them to come to the root cause of the problem much faster than any other profession. Alongwith it, they also have a phenomenal level of equanimity to handle stressful situations and make sound decisions.
2. Continuous learning & reach out
Doctors have this amazing ability to be at the cutting edge of their science. You can see them writing papers, presentations, research, discuss, debate even after they are above 65, when most people call it the retirement age. Doctors can reach out to anyone in their community anytime. It's probably the only community in the world that can come together on a common platform and learn from each other. I wonder, why patients don't come together like this?
3. Sensitive & compassionate
Doctors are extremely sensitive, just that they are very poor at showing their emotions. working so closely with doctors, we've seen them hiding tears, walking away without talking, sulking, angry when they lose a patient. Behind the scenes is something one rarely gets to see. But when you do get a glimpse, the respect only grows about this clan.
4. Doctors love life
Just like a great businessman, they also have their idiosyncrasies. For example, Cars, Bikes, Paintings, Holidays, etc. They really value life because they have very little time off from their work and when they take it, its full on masti.
5. Calculative and foresighted
Doctors are probably the best fund managers after CA's (Pun Intended). They research their trends, talk to the best in class, invest wisely and grow their wealth. Just like their science of trending DNA studies, treatments, research papers, diagnostics, etc, they keep moving on with trends, they are never stagnant in their practice.
Many people have many things to say about this clan, good, bad, etc, but everyone appreciates what they do and what they mean to us, Patients.
When the whole world seems ending, life coming to standstill, time is ticking and body is losing its will to live, Doctors stand out like this only ray of hope for millions around the world.
Salute to all you doctors out there. We love you.
