"I do not tell the medical student that I now know how much of this command is an illusion, a complex magic trick that conceals panic, grief, and rapid-fire unspoken prayers to whomever or whatever might be listening….What would happen if I did tell the medical student? …Perhaps I would crush an illusion that is necessary for us to continue doing this work, an illusion that sustains us by promising, even untruthfully, that someday such fearless mastery will be ours."

-- What I Do Not Tell the Medical Student, E. Andrist, NEJM
