Thank you for this. I’ve been working in emergency medicine now 23 years. I learned early on the best holiday to request off is Mother’s Day. Not only to honor my wife, the mother of my children, and my own Mom, but because it’s incredibly tough to see the other Mothers and Grandmothers on that day going through illness and trauma. It’s always bothered me more on that day then any other. I forgot to request off this year, and working it unfortunately lived up to my past expectations. But at least some of my partners, many Mother’s themselves, were off. A thank you to all the doctors and nurses who did work this year!
Thank you Dr Leap for your relatable writing. I’m an ER doc similar generation as you. Sometimes yours is the only article I read in EM News. I appreciate the Biblical reference to Eve. Mother of us all. I read this to my wife as it was so aptly put. Thank you !

Thank you, Ed, for honoring Eve and all that is life on Mother's Day.
