“To handle yourself, use your head; to handle others, use your heart.” – Eleanor Roosevelt

Wow. If that doesn’t give you an A-HA moment! She was so wise. This truly resonates with me. I cannot have sincere and meaningful exchanges as a credible doctor to my patients if I do not maintain my head. I will laugh and cry with them, but I must first maintain my mind’s eye into the health and wellness of each person whose life I have been gifted to care for.
