REPOST: I make a difference ;)

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 4 AM to make sure your mother has the medicine she needs to live...and I will work straight until 4 AM 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 that your family member is taken cared 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 through Saturday and during normal waking hours... Today, I might save your life. How much do I make? All I know is, I make a difference
