But this is the essence of medicine. It is the essence of the art of caring. As I said at the beginning, it takes love to be a doctor, and it takes love to do research. Nothing that easy. Love envies not, is selfless and not vain.
Love bears all things, hopes all things, endures all things, and never fails.
It s tough to love someone. Love takes courage and perseverance. It asks us to work, to sweat, to sacrifice, and to stick with a challenge as long as it takes to solve it. All the technology in the world will not save medicine unless you, as medical professionals, can love. In answering these questions you will come to new discoveries, you will rise to new challenges, you will justify the faith of your teachers and your families, and you will realize the extraordinary potential for medicine to benefit humanity.
