Humanity in medicine

Doctors are not all bad--- and it's not all about the money. For some , it's the feeling of satisfaction that comes from helping people.

The New York Times has a wonderful, heartfelt article, "A Meal, a Smile, a Word: Thanks in a Thousand Ways" written by a doctor describing the feeling of satisfaction he received after helping those in medical need --- and how he valued the Thank You's he would receive from his patients and family members, whether it was a smile, a hug, or fortune cookies with special messages of gratitude.

Perhaps more doctors should read this and take a close look as to the real reason they became a doctor.
