Practicing medicine...
Doesn't lend itself well to making friends.
Maybe because life and mortality are in our faces all the time...
Maybe because in staring down death every day...
We're forced to know that life...
Every minute is borrowed time.
And each person we let ourselves care about...
Is just one more loss somewhere down the line.
For this reason...
I know some doctors who just don't bother making friends at all.
But the rest of us we make it our job to move that line...
To push each loss as far away as we can.

Everyone need friends to support every minute.
