Happy Doctor's Day!

For a change we can prescribe all the doctors, a day full of smiles on Doctor's day.

This is a forwarded message from my inbox, thanking all the doctors for their service.

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 through 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 your family member is taken care of...

I make myself skip lunch so that I can make sure everything that I did for your wife was correct...

I work weekends and holidays and through the night because people don’t just get sick Monday through Friday and during normal working hours

Today I might save your life

How much do I make?

All I know is, “I make a difference.”
