On Healing

‎"...For others, the healing happens gradually. And it's not until months or years later that you realize you don't hurt anymore. ... But if you can make it through the first weeks and months; if you believe that healing is possible; then, you can get your life back. But that's a big IF."

[Meredith Grey, Grey's Anatomy, S7E10]

Grey's Hangover

Just finished watching the season finale of Grey's Anatomy Season 6 and I must say, it's the best 2-hour episode ever. I was at the edge of my seats, my heart skipping, mouth-open, waiting for yet another shock. But after it all, it made me realize hoy wonderful it is to be a doctor. Although I'm pretty sure how exhausting and stressful it is, their dedication and desire to do their job indeed earn my respect.

The last two episodes of season 6 brought back the childhood dream killed 18 years ago. All of a sudden, a craving came to me. A desire to feel the excitement, the fear, the joy, the stress, and the pain of being a doctor. I suddenly felt the need to save lives... to cure and stop the pain instead of causing one.

Yes, I guess it's wonderful being a doctor. because you try your very best just to ease the pain and make things okay again... to repair hearts instead of breaking them.

I'm just happy that there are doctors out there...willing to go out of their way just to make you whole again. And probably regain your humanity, too.
