That’s Dr. Santa Claus

“It’s a good thing I am a doctor, because I get to shop for what my patients need in the moments that I care for them, instead of giving them all wooden birdfeeders for Christmas. Then I am Dr. Santa Claus, handing out gifts to make the bad better or the worst the best it can be. Sometimes the choice of a gift is obvious; pain relief for the broken wrist or rest for the racing mind. Sometimes I have to look hard for something to give, but that something is always there, amidst the chaos, beneath the pain, past the frailty, a tiny diamond in a stocking full of life’s coal.”

Wonderful article to cap off Christmas medblogging. Have a safe and happy Christmas.
