The life of a doctor is an intense life. We are witnesses and servants to individual human survival. The difficulty is that we are also only humans ourselves. We cannot live simply for patients. In the end, we must live our own lives. Still, to live as a doctor is to live so that your life is bound up in others' and in science, and in the messy uncertain connection between the two. #classof2017 #donewithmedicalschool #ucsandiego #schoolofmedicine #imdoneinjune2017 #graduatesof2017 #doctorofmedicine2017
