XCVI : Quality

I want to have a job knowing that I'm doing it for others and benefiting from their happiness. I don't want to work just because it supports my life, and I especially don't want to go to work to just work routinely. I want quality in my future. I watched the first season of Code Blue (Japanese drama again), and it touched upon many themes that make working in a hospital difficult. How do you deal with emergency care patients? What happens when you must face the death of a patient? One that stuck out was physicians should know patients not by what they have (for instance, the guy with the seizures, the woman who needs brain surgery), but by their names. It's important for anyone working in a hospital, and hopefully everywhere else, to do that.

I might turn out to be a workaholic...
