Some days I get tired of being a doctor. I get frustrated when patients don't have easy access to specialists. I don't want to practice beyond what I am comfortable with. I don't know how to make the system better. Sometimes I think families should consider support services in the same way they look at school districts when they move. I understand that a rural area with one person per square mile will not support a practice in child psychiatry or pediatric neurology. It is a hard problem. Sigh.
I am back to reading Sherlock Holmes. I have read the stories before, but I still enjoy them. Some books are like old friends. Who can forget Jo March struggling to become a writer, and finding love in an unexpected place, or Tom Sawyer getting in and out of trouble? I am looking forward to the next generation of classics.
