Dr. Thakore’s Prescription for Success:
Number 1: Remember why you’re in the game. In medicine, the reason we’re in this game is because of human lives. There will be times when the only satisfaction and reward get is that you know you did the right thing, and you made a difference in someone’s life
Number 2: Understand that your colleagues are human, and they are by no means perfect, and we shouldn’t expect perfection.
Number 3: Take care of yourself and recognize that whoever is in your life with you, your partner, your spouse, your children, are a part of this as well.
