Musings

A note from EVT coeditor in chief, Kathleen Ruby: At EVT, we believe that everyone in the profession can and should be a leader. No matter where you sit on your team, or in your practice, you have the power to make a positive difference. Whether it is deciding to smile or treat coworkers with kindness, OR create a transformation that changes the entire way your practice functions, you can find a way to be a difference maker.

One of the guiding values of our publication is the concept of Servant Leadership. We think that this leadership paradigm mirrors the honor and commitment of the "calling" to the life of medical caregiver.

“This is a good day to die,” I thought, recalling the words of courage of Sitting Bull’s Lakota warrior Low Dog as the Battle of the Little Bighorn began.

For days, I had contemplated this one moment of my life when I must choose – and the choice I made may have been the last. I could not escape a choice...

Well...I didn’t die.
