“First do no harm. As doctors, we pledge to live by this oath. But, harm happens… and then guilt happens. And there’s no oath for how to deal with that. Guilt never goes anywhere on its own. It brings its friends: Doubt and Insecurity.”
“First, do no harm: Easier said than done. We can take all the oaths in the world, but the fact is… most of us do harm all the time. Sometimes, even when we’re trying to help, we do more harm than good. And then the guilt rears its ugly head. What you do with that guilt, is up to you. We’re left with a choice… Either let the guilt throw you back into the behavior that got you into trouble in the first place, or… learn from the guilt, and do your best… to move on.”
