Really cool moment

I have to share this story, and the best part is, its got nothing to do with me. So Dr. Brandon and myself went over to help Master Knight with the testing prep class tonight. Dr. Brandon was working with a very young man, probably around 5. At the end of the class, the mom comes up and starts talking to Dr. Brandon. She recognizes her as the doctor who delivered her son that Dr. Brandon was helping in class. What a small world and such a cool connection. Makes me think of the lives we touch and never really realize it. It could be the car in front of you who you might be tail gating because they don't drive fast enough, or the mom bringing her crying kids on a airplane and you get up to help her with her luggage. What we do at that moment may set a completely different outcome down the road for them and ourselves. When we are confronted with a choice to do selfless kindness or disregard of others needs, we set a course of events that may benefit the human race or perpetuate the chain of self absorption. Anyway, I commend those who spend countless hours and money to be a physician to help people have healthy babies and better lives. It's not a easy job, but it must be rewarding in so many ways. Thanks for the inspiration Dr. Brandon. You Rock!!

Happy Friday
