I guess, I felt similarly about doctors. Aren't doctors the ones that heal and comfort? Doctors aren't supposed to be the ones that get sick (I know that some of you might find this ironic being the hypochondriac that I am). Logically, I knew this wasn't reality, but tonight I was made aware that my favorite professor has been diagnosed with a brain tumor. Doctors do get sick. Knowing the cellular mechanisms of cancer does not make you immune from these DNA derangements. Knowing the statistics about death rates and treatment options does not make you immune from being one of those statistics. Knowing how to break bad news to a patient does not make you immune from receiving it. It just means that you know things that maybe you wish you didn't know.
Thinking about you Dr. B.
