As we bid farewell to the year 2023 .... Here are some of my thoughts as in what I realised as a Doctor this year :-
🍀 Speaking to people, just sharing & talking often helps as much as the actual medicines. Giving patients time as a doctor is so so important.
🍀 Patience is the most underrated virtue there is. And most hard to acquire.
🍀 Anger is often a mask worn by fear, if a person is acting irritable, snappy, and generally being difficult, there is a story behind it most of the times.
🍀 Illnesses like depression, anxiety, OCDs etc can be as crippling to life as any other comorbidy that manifests in physically.
🍀 Perseverance is a skill that serves any person well, be it adherence to treatment by a patient or of a doctor updating her knowledge.
🍀 There is so much we don't know, and it's scary. There is only so much a doctor can control. Your healthy lifestyle increases the likelihood of good health, but is no guarantee against the disease.
Wishing you all a very happy & healthy 2024 ✨❤️
