You are just on and working 24-7.

I worked 80 hours a week, like you said, and saw death and dying on an everyday basis.

Things that no mere mortal should see, we in medical residency, you see it.

And back then, you know, like 25 years ago when I was in training, no one talked about words like self-care or self-love or boundaries.

Like there was none of that.

And so I was taught in my medical training early, early on.

I mean, we're talking like the second year of medical school.

I was taught that pressure makes diamonds.

That was the mantra we were taught.

And so anytime I was in a situation that was difficult or, you know, like I had worked

long, long, I'd done a 30 hour shift and I was really tired.

Anytime I said, oh, I want to rest, I would say, no, no pressure makes diamonds.

And I was a diamond in the making.

And then my diamond cracked and it cracked one fine day out of the blue.

I was rounding, I was in the cardiac ICU.

I was the senior resident.

I had just finished a really brutal call where we had a lot of patients that we admitted to the hospital.

And I was finishing up in the morning, just checking in on every patient before I headed home.

And I suddenly felt like a stampede of wild horses across my chest.

Never happened before.
