I knew a surgeon once who had lost a child to a tragic accident. Whenever I spoke to him by phone, consulting him on a patient, he would close by saying, ‘hey, Ed, be careful out there, OK?’ I thought it was very kind. I didn’t know his backstory at first, but when I did I found his words even more touching. There was pain in what he said and hope that the pain wouldn’t be visited on anyone else.
Happy New Year! Be Careful Out There.
