A very cool quote from Edwinleap.com

I always wanted to be a comedian or a writer. So I can tell you with confidence that seeing people in a medical setting is some of the best training a writer can have. They will tell you all of their secrets, all of their pain and all of their comedy for the price of a little kindness. I can’t imagine any better training in the human condition. Medicine teaches me that people can be unimaginably noble. That they can be miserable and cruel. That they can love like angels and kill like devils. That they endure everything from paralysis to cancer with a smile; and at the same time can give up and take disability for the slightest injury just to withdraw from the world. Medicine teaches me the way people speak and the way they laugh, the way the sound when they’re frightened for their child, and the way they stumble when they’re drunk. And it teaches me that all of them, from the ones I admire to the ones I have to laugh at, are just children in search of a father.
