Beginning
Meredith:
Surgeons are detail oriented. We like statistics and checklists and operating procedures. Our patients live because we enjoy following the steps. But as much as we'd love to always rely on the numbers, the plan, we also know that some of the greatest medical discoveries have happened by accident. Mold, penicillin, poisonous tree bark, a cure for malaria. A little blue pill for high blood pressure, impotence be damned. It's hard for us to accept that it's not always the hard work or attention to detail that'll get us the answers we're looking for. But sometimes we just have to sit back, relax and wait for the happy accident.
Ending
No matter how many plans we make or steps we follow, we never know how our day is going to end up. We'd prefer to know, of course, what curve balls will be thrown our way. It's the accidents that always turn out to be the most interesting parts of our day, of life. The people we never expected to show up. The turn of events we never would've chosen for ourselves. All of a sudden, you find yourself somewhere you never expected to be, and it's nice. Or it takes some getting used to. Still, you know you'll find yourself appreciating it somewhere down the line. So you go to sleep each night thinking about tomorrow. Going over your plans, preparing the lists, and hoping that whatever accidents come your way, will be happy ones.
