I think the best of me is expressed
At work in situations full of stress..
I should try to apply to other life situations
The methods I use successfully in my profession
*
Before you think I am tooting my horn, allow me to explain
As far as my profession is concerned I am trained
To take care of patients who are critically ill
As time goes by I continue to hone my skills-
When you take care of sick patients with complexities
You get mired in the minutiae of their co-morbidities
Often it is helpful to step back and obtain
The thirty-thousand foot view to ascertain
The next best step- that step decisive
Could determine whether the patient lives..
*
Life often poses challenges that are hard to navigate
Circumstances and my reactions further complicate
The situation, instead of getting caught in matters inconsequential
I should take a step back to get the big picture, the elements essential
Just like I do when I have a critical patient before me
Stepping back would allow the same kind of objectivity
*
I am learning life lessons from my professional domain
To pause for a moment, step back and evaluate again
Passion...unbridled
