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
