This is beautiful, Noemi. Thank you for sharing such a compassionate piece. I loved Gawande’s book as well – there’s a PBS documentary that is also worth watching (again, and again – we can never have enough reminders about our own mortality). See you soon!

Whether you decide to become a doctor or not, you will certainly be a caring and compassionate person who listens to people, especially those who are hurting.

Hearing your experiences at work during this year – both the frustrations and the signs of incredible perseverance – was so inspiring and admirable. I am so glad to read that it was worth it, and I must aplaud you for finding a way to make sense out of your experiences and ensuring that they truly are something you are satisfied with. Thank you for sharing your approach to challenges because it is really motivating.
