Peter graduated to be the best and finest surgeon in the world. At age 30, he became married. The joy of marrying a successful young person attracted, his wife, to him.
After the Honeymoon, he hardly spent some quality time with his wife.
Not that Peter is flirting around with other ladies.
Not that he now had a bad friend.
But, at his work place, he was seen as TOO IMPORTANT.
Every patients craved him. The Nurses wanted him to handle the surgeries at hand.
His wife was concerned that and left work to nurse him and so they could finally spend some time together.
Just as she was dropping her briefcase,
His phone rang
"Sir, we need you now at the hospital"
"NO!!!!! You aren't going back to the Hospital!" She Insisted
Peter: Just this last one. It is a lot of money
Promise?
I Promise!. Peter said.
He hadn't spent 1hr with his wife, just hosting, or seeing a movie.
He had been to the house just 3 times in the last week
He didn't recognize the perfume she was wearing. Or the gorgeous dress she wore to work
He felt tired, but bills had to be payed right.
This was running through his mind and he didn't see the goat that was running across the road.
OMG, is that a child? His overworked brain, went into hyperdrive.
He swerved to avoid the goat...
His life insurance paid out.
The hospital erected a new Theatre in his Name.
Not long after, the wife went to that same hospital for fitness test for a fellowship abroad.
And in that new glittering theatre, named after her husband..
Surrounded by a couple of other doctors, whom were hailing him as the best they had ever seen
"Your surgical skills are Impeccable"
"I will like to be like you when I grow up"
"Only you fit raise the dead"
"Na you be Surgery oooo, after you na you again"
When she followed him to work the day after their honey moon.
"Only her Peter could "raise the dead""
Now apparently, others could
You are a Rockstar,
You are Gold,
You are the best thing since sliced bread.
But.
You will be replaced if you quit.
You will be missed but the world would go on.
The things only 'you' can do, others would do them.
Find a Work Life Balance.
Take a Vacation.
Spend time with your loved ones
Choplife like @DrETPeters
You only live once. Make the most of it.
Your personal life is important too. Ensure it doesn't suffer.
Be Trusted, not Gullible.
Be a Celebrity, but set your boundaries.
You can have a fantastic week ethic, and still take a breather.
Life goes on....are you sure you know this
Don't be too busy saving the lives of others that you forget to save yourself.
It is easy to want to save that extra life, but at what cost.
Be empathy, not emotional.
"Doctors fall sick too". Don't be decieved
Physically tired.
Emotionally stressed
Physician burnout is real!.
We here tales of doctors who had accidents because they fell asleep on the wheel.
Pharmacists so exhausted that they are too tired to go home to rest.
Nurses who have collapsed on the job
