On My Mind
Showing you my path so you may see yours more easily
I have been thinking of you lately, how hard. You work on the analytical, mechanical, decisive approach to medicine. How hard you work to get the diagnosis just right so you can prescribe the right cure. I remember how that felt, and I wanted to give you a little taste of how you change over the next 25 years.
It comes down to the people. It is not about their work, but how they feel; feeling valued, feeling your work is valuable to those you serve, and feeling valuable doing the work. It is work as an extension of what you believe, what you love, and how you want the world to be reflected back to you.
For 22 years I have watched systems work to chart their way into the future. It is a difficult future; the Baby Boom generation is such that it is going to be a costly future as well. It is not a problem, problems can be solved. This is a predicament, it is inevitable, it must be managed. To manage a predicament people must bring their best, give it, and do that repeatedly.
