I think this is a first for Purulent Discharge- a positive post about my job, which I really do love and is my dream job. I end up writing about the bad stuff and celebrating the good stuff privately. So here's the flip side of all my groaning:
I just spoke with a neurology resident who is willing to waive her entire fee to see my uninsured patient with nasty recurrent seizures. I've been trying to find help for this patient for about a year now. Apparently prayer sometimes makes things happen. Apparently God actually cares about humans and wants to give them gifts like this. I wasn't so sure of that for a while, and I'm sure I'll be unsure again. But for now, I'm grateful.
