Dr. Desselle sure woke us up...
Anyway, he talked about some of the values someone in the medical field should have, such as experience, trust and mentorship.
Um... a doctor/nurse with experience... YES PLEASE. I mean, in order to go into the medical field, a prospective medical caregiver has to go to school, what, eight years... or more? And during that time, they have to do their residency for several hours a week to gain even more EXPERIENCE. But then again, with any career, experience is needed. Nowadays even a job at your local burger joint requires an experience in high school, preferably graduation.
It takes a lot of trust to to be a doctor, and even more is required of the patients. I trust my doctors with my life. (Duh, shouldn't we all?) They have to trust in themselves to cure and save their patients from their ailments, whether it be a simple cold or a bullet to the gut.
To be great, you gotta learn from the greats themselves. Dr. Desselle told us of his own mentor, now a great friend to him. Mentors teach their pupils how to become the best they can be. (I can only hope to find one as good as Yoda.)
