90 | Doing difficult things makes you stronger | Pain of getting well is sometimes greater than the pain of staying stuck | Is emergency medicine your purpose
Whatever your beliefs regarding God or lack of a God as you work in emergency medicine, I hope this episode will uplift and encourage you
Laurie likes to reflect on the one patient she was there to help during the day. Or the one patient she was there to interact with
It is important to reflect on your highs, your lows and even things that made you laugh
Where is that line of caring for people and balancing your own family and priorities?
Jesus said the poor you will have with you always. You will never be able to fix every problem. We can’t take on a God complex. We have to check on ourselves to know when we are giving too much of ourselves
Daniel raises a point in his book, that the fruits of the Spirit are produced by you going through difficult situations with difficult people
Overcoming difficult things can make us better if we allow it to and we can be a light to those around us
Every day is not “I am blessed and highly favored”, there are some days where you feel bright and full and others where everything is difficult
Jesus knows that the pain of getting well is sometimes greater than the pain of staying stuck
Is emergency medicine your purpose?
Eric talks about the blessing it is to directly impact another person, but it is not his life’s mission. His identity is not an ER physician, it is a child of God
Laurie overall agrees but she stresses that she is called to be an ER PA. It’s the expression of the skills God has given her
I think I am somewhere in between the two of them, I definitely feel called to work in the ED but don’t want it to be my whole identity either
