30 Something Baby Doc

I guess life is a temporal journey to become a better person. Therefore, I see myself far away from my destination :-) I've always tried to suppress my ego in the practice of academic medicine. I try to approach the care of patients in a team like fashion where everyone contributes and everyone learns from the same mistake (whether you committed that mistake or not).

I think what disturbs me most is physicians with huge Egos. Individuals who have a propensity to trash their colleagues in front of their peers or other patients in order to boost there own egos and project themselves as a "saviour". These individuals scare me the most because their primary concern in the practice of medicine is not the patient, but themselves. I see them as more likely to cause harm than healing.

Well...on with the journey........
