Compassion.
The other “C” word.
My two cents:
Compassion or nothing.
Compassion.
It’s the most important part of being a doctor.
Of being any healthcare provider.
Compassion or nothing.
Full on empathy.
The word “doctor” is the agentive noun of the Latin verb docere (do-ke-re) which means “to teach”.
What if we could teach the world a little compassion?
That’d be a fine day in my book.
I think the word also means D-O-C-T-O-R:
Displaying.
Outstanding.
Compassion.
Transforms.
Our.
Relationships.
Compassion or nothing.
Microstep: Compassion can be taught. By you. Today. Teach it by being compassionate to someone today. They’ll get the lesson.
