Pediatric resident reflection from Arusha, Tanzania: Michelle Greene If you have been in medicine for any length of time, you can probably look back to a handful of moments that impacted you: the anguish of a patient death, having someone look to YOU as their doctor (instead of your attending or your upper level resident), the thrill of encountering a diagnosis you’ve only read about, the joy of curing an illness, the frustration with the healthcare system, the unnerving chaos of an overworked clinic, or a time you felt completely ineffective when treating a patient. Remember all of that? Take that, and cram it…all of it…into a 24 hour period.
