What is it about the mainstream clinic that makes you appreciate the homeless one?

I wish you a great day!

Lots of patients attempting to dictate their healthcare - 'You're going to do this for me, and this, and this, and this...' - stuff like that.

Lots of healthy, non-symptomatic young patients requesting full general physical exams, what what they want evaluated is pain in their feet, etc.

At the homeless clinic, I feel like I'm doing something valuable, and making a difference.

I think it will be a great day, actually. I've got a couple of surgical procedures scheduled, and I like doing those.

I've got next Friday off, but that's because I have to work on Saturday...

Enjoy the day!...

Clash of the Titans-not Shakespeare. A heavy clinic day is like battling Titans-not fighting King Richard.

You should always think Shakespeare with him.
