Rayyan: Thanks for your feedback on my post further above and your wishes!:salute:Ayesha and I were sitting in our backyard around 1000 hrs this morning. Beautiful sunny day. I had my camera with me, taking pics of flowers and birds. And Ayesha.
My son walked over.
Salams Dad, Mom. He kissed our foreheads, as is our custom, to show respect.
How did it go, asked Ayesha. Ok he said.
Want breakfast? Just coffee please. He went into the house.
He had changed, and came back with his acoustic guitar.
I just clicked, as he strummed his guitar. I knew he was troubled.
He was the senior resident in the ER last night.
Ayesha brought some olives, cheese, black tea, water and coffee.
Guitar = Worry. Everything ok? asked Ayesha.
No reply. he just played his guitar.
A road accident case came in last night. With that he walked back into the house.
Drive safely all of you.
Leif: On one of my next trips I will check that thoroughly! Although I believe you without any doubt.:thumbup::salute:Hermann, Swiss winter is almost as beautiful as the Norwegian one!

A simple story, a simple exchange, a simple image. But with a powerful message on many levels. I think it speaks of your relationship with your son, and his with you and Ayesha. But more it speaks of his humanity. Clearly, his patients are very human to him. The world needs more docs like that.Ayesha and I were sitting in our backyard around 1000 hrs this morning.

Amen. Thanks for sharing this Lloyd & Rayyan!A simple story, a simple exchange, a simple image. But with a powerful message on many levels.

This also reminds me of an experience of many years ago. I hope you don't mind my sharing it here.
When I was young, my adored uncle was doing his residency, and was going to have to miss a family gathering. Late that first evening he arrived unexpectedly (a two-plus hour drive from his hospital), still wearing his surgical scrubs (right down to his shoe covers), and went into a bedroom of the house, closing the door behind him. His wife saw immediately that something was not right, and followed him into the room. Later she emerged, and it was obvious she had been crying, but she offered no explanation.
I didn't see him again that night, and when I got up the next morning, he was gone. Later I learned that he had lost his first patient on the operating table, an elderly woman of whom he was very fond. He was devastated, and has since told me that to this day, the experience is still vivid in his mind and heart. He told me once that some of his colleagues dealt with those experience by mentally reducing their patients to objects, never wanting to connect with them on a human level. My uncle practiced medicine for nearly 45 years, and taught for years at a medical school. He said that during that very long night all those years ago, he decided that he could never afford to dehumanize his patients for his own defense. That if he every lost another, that they deserved to be felt as deeply about as had that first one. I suspect they were.
Same to you Leif! Happy Holidays!Before starting work on the big dinner, I just wanted wish you all a Merry Christmas!
