In some professions, you want repeat customers. The medical
profession is not one of them. If you’re in healthcare, you want
to see your patients recover, recuperate and get on your way
healthier and happier. Wes Jackson had a lot to say about what
it is like to not see patients again. “I always say, I hope to see
you again, just not at work.” Recalling a chance encounter at
the grocery store with a happy, healthy patient he’d admitted
with cancer just a year prior is a standout moment for him.
“Seeing someone in such critical condition move on to a better
life is the best feeling.”
