The Aging Physician
by Dr. D

" Dr. D, my back is sore constantly. What can
I do? " Yeah, me too, I say. I have a pill for
everything...but I don't recommend it for you.

Yes, my friend. Thank you for your trust in me....

" Dr. D, it's getting harder to get to the mailbox. " Do
you do anything else for exercise, I ask. " It's just too
hard these days, " he says. Me too, we both need to keep
pushing until the Good Lord is ready for us, I say.
Maybe I'm too old for this stuff now, I wonder.
And then someone comes in and says:

There are few professions like ours. Most of us love our
job, our career, our work and leaving is not easy. Sure,
some burn out by running themselves into the ground,
unable to control their work environment; but most, in my
experience, feel pulled in lovingly by their patients' need
before them and by the relationships they have created.
I believe this is why - in a time of a global pandemic
or when crisis hits - you see so many retired nurses,
doctors, and all medical service personnel stepping
up to help. We love it. We love to be needed. We love
to serve someone in need. That's what gets you up
in the morning and what lets you sleep peacefully

" Dr. D, I have known you longer than anyone else
on the planet and you have always given me good
advice. I really appreciate that, my friend. "
