“How many times in life do you get to just start all over again?".
That does sound tempting, actually. Can i start over today?”
― Val Emmich, Dear Evan Hansen

“Once a story you’ve regarded as true has turned false, you begin suspecting all stories.”
― Margaret Atwood, The Testaments

“As they say, history does not repeat itself, but it rhymes.”
― Margaret Atwood, The Testaments

“It’s funny – you don’t think of doctors getting ill.’ It’s true, and I think it’s part of something bigger: patients don’t actually think of doctors as being human. It’s why they’re so quick to complain if we make a mistake or if we get cross. It’s why they’ll bite our heads off when we finally call them into our over-running clinic room at 7 p.m., not thinking that we also have homes we’d rather be at. But it’s the flip side of not wanting your doctor to be fallible, capable of getting your diagnosis wrong. They don’t want to think of medicine as a subject that anyone on the planet can learn, a career choice their mouth-breathing cousin could have made.”
― Adam Kay, This is Going to Hurt: Secret Diaries of a Junior Doctor
