Our Generation: Bridging the generation gap
"How do you do this job? What you do is so gross, but my dad says I should be an ob/gyn because you make a lot of money."
How do you respond tactfully to a question like that from an adolescent patient? A few things ran through my mind as I listened to her. First, what I do is not gross. Second, I had no sleep last night because I did deliveries for my partners for which I made no money. Third, I really hate it when someone says, "doctors make a lot of money."

I can't afford to miss one detail that today may seem insignificant but later may be reassessed as critical. On the other hand, the rewards are boundless and priceless. I am, of course, talking about being a parent.
