Chat, how do we feel about this?
Itās 10 a.m., and this man is truly struggling. And I canāt help but think about how much more of the day he has ahead of him.
A full workday. Interactions with patients, coworkers, maybe family. Maybe even a birthday or celebration later tonight.
So I asked myself: Is it right or wrong to offer someone resources that could potentially help them get closer to a better quality of life?
If I was wheezing and struggling to breathe, and a pulmonologist sitting next to me handed me a card and said, āHey, Iād love to help. Life doesnāt have to be this way,ā would I be offended?
Probably not.
If I was walking around in pain, whether it was my back or my joints, and a physical therapist or chiropractor said, āHey, I think I can help you get some of your quality of life back,ā would I be offended?
Probably not.
But that doesnāt mean everyone would feel the same way.
And THATāS where the conflict comes in.
When you genuinely believe youāre doing something good for someone, thereās always a chance they may not receive it that way.
Thankfully, this gentleman did. ā¤ļø
Hopefully, this gets him into my office, or into someone elseās office, where he can get the help he needs and experience a little more connection with the world around him.
Sometimes you need a little passion to drive you.
Sometimes that passion becomes a light for someone else.
I feel like thatās what happened today.
Would you have done the same?
