When you immerse yourself in medicine you realise that hope is not absolute. It's not that simple.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Beware how you take away hope from another human being.
Hope is the feeling that the feeling you have isn't permanent.
One of the hardest things is to create hope.
I'm naturally an optimist, but my basis for hope is rooted in my understanding of human nature.
Our great struggle in medicine these days is not just with ignorance and uncertainty. It's also with complexity: how much you have to make sure you have in your head and think about. There are a thousand ways things can go wrong.
Believing you're something that you're not excites the mind and the imagination. And it's hopeful.
Hope is not just... out in the sky, or accepting the facts or reality. Hope is having optimistic, positive expectations.
Hope is a feeling that life and work have meaning. You either have it or you don't, regardless of the state of the world that surrounds you.
Hope is definitely not the same thing as optimism. It is not the conviction that something will turn out well, but the certainty that something makes sense, regardless of how it turns out.
There is no medicine like hope, no incentive so great, and no tonic so powerful as expectation of something tomorrow.
