Reflecting on critical care

I was just reading an article in the New Yorker about Critical Care and found myself very excited by it. In fact, I would say that the experience of having a patient who I saw one month earlier with multiple organ failure wake up, talk and walk out of the hospital may be one of the most satisfying experiences I have ever had. Knowing that you saved someone’s life . . .

In fact, the prospect of working in the ICU really excites me most about medicine . . . unfortunately the training is another year.
