5. Your compassion is stronger than his hate.

You are doing transcendent work, and I hope you are able to continue doing so. Your story about this patient is inspiring, and it's what healing is all about - you value the human being beneath the political views or emotions (as distasteful as they might be). Even if he dies, his family will be changed by the caring that your diverse team administered to him. It's the highest form of medicine, to be able to put aside your personal reactions and administer care where ever it's needed. You're OK for having these very human reactions - but also know that many admire you for what what you've done and are inspired by your actions. Thank you.
