Gotta Love the All Knowing and Cynical Attending

You gotta love a cynical guy who tries to make a difference. They are just hilarious to watch as the day progresses. We had a different attending who's outlook on life and medicine was that of pure disgust. It was great. The patients were incompetent, the weather was too cold and boy did he hate being a doctor. His main goal in life was to make it to some beach and chill for the remaining of his days. But, until then he was trudging through the sea of coughes, HTN and Diabetes. All I could do was smile, because he reminded me and what I will probably be like in ten years (lets be realistic 3 years). He was just a hard working guy in a broken system that doesn't reward the ones that try, but gives a golden crown to the sloths. So, who can blame any of us for the way we turn out.
