Yet in return for our years of training, in return for our dedication to life, society will provide us rights that it gives to no one else. Society will allow us to hear secrets from human beings that they are too scared to tell anyone else. Society will allow us to use drugs and instruments that can do great harm as well as great good. Society will allow us to decide for the life of its members. And it is true that society will follow what we say, sometimes knowingly, sometimes blindly. They will follow us doctors, because we are bearers of that privilege. In turn, what do we follow?
Let us not forget, that we follow our dreams.
Let us not forget, that we follow our dreams.
— Dr. Mark S. Onglao, Top 1 of the August 2011 Physician Licensure Exams (via psychedenique)
