Patient First Rules

Great quote from Strauss and Mayer's Emergency Department Management on putting the patient's first.
Rule #1: Always do the right thing for the patient.
Rule#2: Do the right thing for the the people who take care of the patient. 
Rule #3: Never confuse rule #1 and #2. 

Brings me back two decades to medical school. Still the best days are when I live this mission, and the worst when I fail to. Altruism always brings mental clarity and an endless well of energy. The tribe mentality creates community with our staff and the patient's family. The last keeps our priorities correctly aligned. Timeless.
