“Since becoming a physician, [some of] the most valuable lessons I have learned have actually come from my own family members being patients. Being “on the other side” of medicine is an eye-opening experience of what it feels like to entrust your loved one’s care to the healthcare team and an excellent reminder of the humanity and ministry opportunity in medicine.”
