Trusting the intuition of others, listening intently, leaving biases behind, smiling and remembering our shared humanity are great lessons for medical professionals…and for the rest of us.
Thoughts
Support for children and families – ICS!
I have long agreed with others that it takes a village to raise a child. To deny that reality is to deny our common humanity. We are all related. Everything that we do or hope to do is interconnected with our fellow citizens.
