I have worked in every possible area of medicine from Street medicine, to EMS, surgery, critical care, outpatient  clinics,  Emergency  Department,  Inpatient floors, home visits,  telehealth,  Nursing homes and this quote has come to be the foundation of my philosophy of how to practice medicine:

“No one cares what you know until they know that you care.”

 ~ Theodore Roosevelt

And I care. About patients and about the craft of medicine.
