I was excited to get home and get some sleep and see my kids and wife but it was great to have this feeling of "I love what I do" It makes it so much easier to do your job when you truly love what you do. I just never realized that it was actually a possibility. I was always skeptical of the idea of truly loving what you do for a career. I will see if this feeling continues or if I burn out at some point. In the mean time, I am excited to go into my next shift.
All identifying info is left out and patient details have been changed in order to protect anonymity. This blog is a fictional blog. These kinds of cases occur in Emergency Departments across the nation but the cases and details here have been changed. This blog started out to document my journey through medical school and now I continue to document my life as a resident physician in EM in a story like fictional style. I am however an actual resident in EM.

This is my job?
Today after many long hours of being on call I was finally finished and getting ready to go home and I realized that I was not in any rush to leave. I actually wanted to stay and keep seeing patients. I have never had a job where the major goal was not to get out and go home and do as little work as possible. It is odd to me that I get the privilege of doing this for my career. I enjoy it like I enjoy any of my other hobbies which is mind boggling as I have always held work and hobbies as 2 very different things.
This is really great, Jared. There's a certain inexplicable thrill about loving every aspect of your life. Thanks for sharing...---SM
