Grateful for Medicine

Short post on my way to my new job at the Maryland Correction Institute - Jessup.

I'm grateful for the things we take that make us better, whether they treat the problem or the symptom.

I'm grateful for the advances in diagnosing problems, in repairing broken or damaged things. Once, earlier in my marriage, I started counting all the ways that medicine has comforted or saved the lives of my loved ones.

I have lost track since. It is humbling to consider how fragile we are. But fills me with gratitude to think of the living that has been extended.
