People are often unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered; Forgive them anyway. If you are kind, People may Accuse you of Selfish, Ulterior motives; Be kind anyway. If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies; Succeed anyway. If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you; Be Honest and Frank anyway. What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight; Build anyway. If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous; Be happy anyway. The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow; Do good anyway. Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough; Give the world the best you've got anyway. You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and God; It was never between you and them anyway. ---Mother Teresa
Many rich and powerful public figures can donate money or give their lip service to the people in the "bottom of barrel", but only very few true servants could be like Mother Teresa to actually plank down own life and use own hands to bridge the spectrum between heaven and earth. Proud of you for making worthy efforts to put up with and help out these seemingly suffering ones.
Are those patients just being lazy? Or maybe they are depressed and need antidepressant instead?

Luhua, it is so difficult not to put our emotion into our daily practice. I am so discouraged to see a large percents tax dollars wasted daily. This weekend, I am covering for my partner's inpt service, there are a couple of elderly nursing home residents, with dementia, stage IV decubitus ulcer, sepsis, ESRD, family members still want to have full code, although they never bother to visit the pts. Also, I see those 300+ lbs pts requesting food stamps, power wheelchairs, and handicapp sticker, home provider service ( maid service), etc, which will be paid by medicare and medicaid. Yet, they don't want to make any effort to loss weight and try to live a productive life. Unfortunately, more than 50% of health care expenses in this country spend on the people dying within 6 months. I am frustruated as well. I will try to remember what mother Teresa said. -big sigh!
