Don’t Lose Yourself

More often than not,

We lose ourselves

Lost in heat of struggle

Lost in the survival of the fittest

Losing our grip which holds and defines who we truly are

We suffocate ourselves with more information from the books

We get so absorbed into the scientific basis of life

We get so dragged into heated discussions

We lose ourselves

We become less interested in Patient X

But become more interested in Disease Y instead

We turn the patient into facts in the books

Into objects rather than person

We ourselves become more like stones

More like those emotionless being

Like those heartless being, who glare coldly or at least superficially

Cos all we know is the science of medicine

But not the art of medicine

Don’t lose yourself

Don’t lose ourselves

I want to learn the art to heal and to comfort people

To make this world a better place

And not merely the science of fighting the disease

Because that would be just dead boring

And it would also make me lose myself

So how how tell me how?

How to not lose myself?
