Why
do the doctors and we subject ourselves to the anxieties of the profession, to endless hours of study, in exhausting shifts? I heard the most varied responses, the most common of which are: to help others, do something important, does anyone else I know and I decided that I would have liked, I would not be / a good / y to be an engineer / the lawyer / broker. My personal
are three: a doctor is a vocation, I have heard, my matter is a source of endless wonder to me (you tedium on the philosophy of the limit applied to the neurology in another post), epinephrine.
Last night I made my first watch night in the emergency room and was very tense. Twelve hours more room visit, without a moment's breath, in the setting closer to ER I've ever seen, filled me with fear, afraid to sleep, hunger, thirst, headache. Instead, I found, like a forgotten treasure in the routine, the adrenaline. The High , as they say in English, that feeling that surgeons say they feel in the room (I feel more like low back pain, but the tastes are not discussed) and that seems the result of a drug active agent, a few upper stethoscope-relato. Now see patients after hours to get there and wonder of passing time in these rooms iperilluminate where the difference between night and day is a theoretical concept, monitor the PC screen to catch the yellow light of a patient urgent, the thrill of seeing the ambulance carrying an emergency (the famous "Code Red"), the cold half past five in the morning chased away by a nap of half an hour on a stretcher and secluded yet miraculously empty, the Coffee of the eleven, and then of three, and then the seven ... non-decaffeinated, of course. The agony of desperate people seeking refuge in a hospital in the winter nights in the shelter of vague malaise, the crisis anxiety of the little old sun, the dripping of the patient looking for a free visit, everything is passed by the rush of blood to the head dell'infartuato from "unblock" cardioverted from arrhythmia, edema to dry.
A neurologist is not often a adrenaline. Too bad, you should try: it is a good thirty percent of the breath of doctors.
