"..When it stops being fun, i'll quit..."

So characters in medicine are always interesting, right. You got ur surgeons, ur 'Typical' egocentric, arrogant, patronising, u-know-whats.. but then today i met probably one of the most inspiring surgeons i've ever met. I mean if u spoke to him, u wudnt even realise he was a doctor he was SOO down to earth. I mean he even had lunch with us all; nurses, technicians.. he was bored, so he drove round the block and got us all vanilla ice cream! Of course, subsequent to that, most of my time was with the more 'typical' surgeons, but my brief exposure to him was inspiring. He had the whole ethos that you should have a joke whilst learning medicine and most importantly, he said "Whatever job you're gona do, you gotta enjoy it and it's gotta be fun.. my theatre is always a fun place.. The day this job stops being fun, i'm going to quit." So yeh, those are my words of wisdom for now!
