Here’s the thing. I don’t need patients to thank me. I haven’t had a hero complex about being a doctor since I was a wee pre-med- I am doing my job and I’ll continue to do it whether my patients like me or not, or are nice to me, etc..Patient care requires a lot of coordination and involves the hard work of everyone from the nurses to the respiratory therapist to the phlebotomists. I’m contributing something vital to their care as their doctor, but without everyone else I’m pretty useless. . . But when a patient thanks me, it really makes my entire day! Nobody can tell me nothing. anyone else get this feeling? . . #procreate #illustration #webcomic #healthcare #resident #intern #inpatient #doctor #relatable #womeninmedicine #blackdoctors #graphicmedicine #premed #premedmotivation #residency #internalmedicine #medschool #medicine #medicalschool #medlife #md #medstudent #nurse #physician
