Good.

I am enjoy stumbling across quaint quotes peppered amongst the medical jargon of the Oxford Handbook of Clinical Medicine.
For example:
We never see the people who are dear to us, save in the animated system, the perpetual motion of our incessant love for them, which before allowing the images that their faces present to reach us catches them in its vortex and flings them back upon the idea that we have always had of them, makes them adhere to it and coincide with it. Marcel Proust
 Or how about...
You never really know a man until you stand in his shoes and walk around in them. Harper Lee

It's nice to get reminders of the humanitarian aspects of medicine at a time when I seem to be spending all my spare time attempting to understand the physiological and pharmacological intricacies of illness and disease.

I think I might actually quite like people...and being a doctor might be quite good.
Maybe.
