Acebecker Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 Love: the responsibility that I bear, the ability to effect peoples' lives, the science of the practice of medicine, watching people heal. the profession provides for my family's needs. Hate: armchair quarterbacks who question my decisions, being treated as a third class citizen by some of my colleagues/other providers in the community, and always feeling like I have something to prove Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
