The Wolf or the Sheep

Abstract

I wrote this piece as a second-year student at MCW in response to my first experience with a dying patient. It is a reflection on the loss of life and the challenges of medical training. In this piece, I pose the question: what does it take to face such loss every day and still maintain one’s own humanity?
