Make no mistake: You are alone in this endeavor. If it is brilliance you seek, dare not look for companionship, because it will leave you lesser. This is not for the faint of heart, this is for those of iron will and complete emotional independence. All of that which you give of yourself to anything other than your profession you can no longer offer your profession. If you fail your patient, you cannot in good faith state that you offered your best, because you have not offered your best. This is not a condemnation towards those who split themselves, I do not have any ill feelings for those who do not share my views and opinions. This is either my most logical approach towards independence, or my rationale for fear of engagement. They say Einstein spent the better part of his life locked in his home, searching for the theory to unify it all. He failed, but his failure was pure and unadulterated. We come here alone, with nothing but a shred of who we will become, and we leave here with nothing but a shred of who we were. Maybe it's sad, or maybe it's beautiful.
