Give Time for Reflection
How often do we have time to reflect these days? With a heavy premed/medical school workload, a job to pay the bills, volunteer work to do...who has time for reflection?
Sometimes the demands of the job allow you to drift from the reasons that brought you to the profession to begin with. The following story gives a great account of the workload and fatigue of a medical student and how once a year, through the fasting of Ramadan, our author is rejuvenated. He learns about endurance, empathy, and sacrifice that contributes to a re-centering of his priorities and a refreshing perspective on this chosen career.
