“
Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
Philippians 4:6-7

This is definitely reassuring.

medicalstate:

“I remember being so scared of seeing patients once because I felt like I was only a doctor on paper. I felt like a fraud, thinking, ‘these people do not want my care. What could I do for them?’ But then one day it will all sink in. You will realize that the body is just a giant machine and when something breaks, it manifests in predictable ways. Once you recognize those patterns, you will feel more comfortable doing what you need to do.”

A doctor reassures me about overcoming the anxiety of taking on more responsibility in a patient’s care.

what we can learn from pride and prejudice

  • Mr. Collins, proposing to Elizabeth: I know ladies don't like to seem to eager...
  • Elizabeth, to Mr Collins: Mr. Collins: I am perfectly serious! You could not make me happy and I'm convinced I'm the last woman in the world who could make you happy!
  • NO MEANS NO.

STROKE IDENTIFICATION: A neurologist says that if he can get to a stroke victim within 3 hours he can totally reverse the effects of a stroke…totally. He said the trick was getting a stroke recognized, diagnosed, and then getting the patient medically cared for within 3 hours, which is tough.Sometimes symptoms of a stroke are difficult to identify. Unfortunately, the lack of awareness spells disaster. The stroke victim may suffer severe brain damage when people nearby fail to recognize the symptoms of a stroke. Now doctors say a bystander can recognize a stroke by asking three simple questions :S * = SMILE. Ask the individual to SMILET * = TALK. Ask the person to SPEAK A SIMPLE SENTENCE (Coherently) (eg ‘It is sunny out today’).R * = RAISE. Ask him or her to RAISE BOTH ARMS .If he or she has trouble with ANY ONE of these tasks, call the ambulance and describe the symptoms to the dispatcher.NOTE : Another ‘sign’ of a stroke is1. Ask the person to ‘stick’ out their tongue.2. If the tongue is ‘crooked’, if it goes to one side or the other that is also an indication of a stroke.

“
They who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up on wings like eagles; they shall run and not grow weary; they shall walk and not faint.
Isaiah 40:31
“

There’s a song that’s inside of my soul
It’s the one that I’ve tried to write over and over again
I’m awake in the infinite cold
But You sing to me over and over again

So I lay my head back down
And I lift my hands
and pray to be only Yours
I pray to be only Yours
I know now you’re my only hope

Sing to me the song of the stars
Of Your galaxy dancing and laughing and laughing again
When it feels like my dreams are so far
Sing to me of the plans that You have for me over again

And I lay my head back down
And I lift my hands and pray
To be only yours
I pray to be only yours
I know now you’re my only hope

I give You my apathy
I’m giving You all of me
I want Your symphony
Singing in all that I am
At the top of my lungs I’m giving it back

So I lay my head back down
And I lift my hands
and pray to be only Yours
I pray to be only Yours
I know now you’re my only hope

“Only Hope” by Switchfoot
