WORST PART OF MY JOB: I Get Up Every Morning Energized & Ready To Make A Difference, But Unfortunately Not Every Aspect Of Transforming Lives Is Cheerful. Back Pain Is Quite Often Why Patients And I Will Cross Paths . . 99.9% Of The Time, I Can Get Their Pain Better Through Conservative Measures Or Surgery. But When I See An X-Ray Like This, It Makes Me Sick To My Stomach. Metastatic Cancer To The Spine With Pathologic Fractures Means A Death Sentence. Sitting With Patients To Tell Them About A Terminal Condition Is One Of The Most Humbling Things That A Doctor Could Ever Do. Experiences Like This Extend My Empathy & And Make Me A Better Man. Be Humble . . Take Care Of Yourself . . Treasure Your Loved Ones . .
