The Physicians' Plight
“The great danger is that you stop caring. The goal of each day and each night is simply to move everyone through, to clear the decks, rather than to deliberately and expertly care for those who need it and reassure those who do not.”
Victoria Rogers McEvoy, MD
from the book “How Doctors Think”
