Greetings amazing, intelligent, compassionate APPs! We have almost made it through arguably the worst part of the year in terms of mood-dwindling weather and relentless seasonal illnesses. I hope the winter has treated you all as well as possible and that you find yourselves feeling energized and hopeful as we head into the spring! When looking at motivational quotes for this issue, I came across the following by Frederick Douglass, “If there is no struggle, there is no progress.” I found this to be very relevant to my practice and maybe at least a few of you can relate. Some days, it seems each patient case that walks through the door is straight forward, helping me to feel confident about how I am going to treat the patient. Conversely, there are other days when nothing seems textbook or simple leading me to “phone a friend” or reference UpToDate constantly. The truth is, we are all learning every day: Especially on those days that humble us and shake our confidence. While those days don’t feel the best, those are the days that are shaping us into great providers and pushing us to be better. Never be afraid to ask a peer for help, take a minute to steady yourself, or just simply acknowledge that the day is really tough. Keep pushing forward and give yourselves grace, especially on the hard days. As always, thank you for your hard work and excellent patient care.
