„Somebody asked: „You’re a Doctor? How much do you make?”
I replied: „HOW MUCH DO I MAKE?” …
I can make holding your hand seem like the most important thing in the world when you’re scared…
I can make your child breathe when they stop…
I can help your father survive a heart attack…
I can make myself get up at 4AM to make sure your mother has the medicine she needs to live…and I will work straight
through until 4am to keep her alive and start the day all over again!
I work all day to save the lives of strangers…
I will drop everything and run a code blue for hours trying to keep you alive!!!
I make my family wait for dinner until I know your family member is taken care of…
I make myself skip lunch so that I can make sure that everything I did for your wife today was correct…
I work weekends and holidays and all through the night because people don’t just get sick Monday though Saturday and during normal working hours.
Today, I might save your life.
How much do I make?
All I know is, I MAKE a difference.”
