“It is difficult, seeing such an incredible volume of patients with progressive disease, not to feel that this effort is futile. Watching these pediatricians work, however, I am beginning to understand what fuels their incredible generosity and unquestioning work ethic.”
The sincere gratitude of the patients and the overwhelming need of these children that can be alleviated by simple treatment measures creates an incredibly rewarding and motivating practice. They all admit that it is exhausting, but they return every morning to the staggering throng of patients with smiles, energy, and patience.”
