If you’ve stopped being idealistic, hopeful, optimistically inventive, joyfully curious in how you engage with each day…and are now hardened, disillusioned, disenchanted, sardonic and pessimistic…
…then maybe your Clinical Medicine practice has mutated into Cynical Medicine.
And as with all malignant mutations, it doesn’t matter whose “fault” it is, or even how scary it is to be told about it.
What matters is taking immediate action to keep the malignancy from spreading further.
Chemotherapy, radiotherapy, surgical intervention…no matter how exacting or brutal the treatment regimen, it’s a bargain if it saves a life.
So if you’ve found yourself practising Cynical Medicine, it’s time you loved Patient #1 (i.e you) enough to take the necessary steps to save the life of your dreams and untapped potential.
