“To have striven, to have made the effort, to have been true to certain ideals - this alone is worth the struggle.”
William Osler
The word “values” is heard frequently in healthcare. From the moment we step into medical school, we are challenged to reflect what our intrinsic values are, or how we can “add value” to a department during the residency application.
With time, and in going through the system, our definitions of the word “values” may change. To me, values are those things which are right and wrong, and which are important in life. In other words, values include not only what is important to my profession and to being a good doctor, but also to what is important to being a good person. |
