Though-provoking quote ...

A quote from the November 20, 2006, issue of Macleans, by Giller winning author Vincent Lam (who is also an emergency physician), when asked "Has your medical training helped you as a writer, beyond providing subject matter?":

Medicine has taught me that it really doesn't matter how well you've performed. Someone will always be dissatisfied or unhappy, either for a reason you couldn't do much about, or for a reason that's simply untrue. And you just have to move on to the next patient. Or the next book.

(I just need to always remember that ...)
