Matters of the heart

As Dr. Gabehart put it, 'It’s amazing how the little things we have and take for granted can mean the world to the next person. It could be our hearts, minds, few words of wisdom, belongings or even our presence. You don’t know how you’ll benefit from the next person and how they can benefit from you, so it’s not enough to open our minds, but we should open our hearts as well. It’s a crazy world, and we need each other to make the most out of life with the little time we have on this earth because no one is an island.' Sean thinks his clerkship will be a walk in the park, until he crosses paths with the son of the hospital’s owner who makes it a mission to ruin his medical career. These four weeks of a cardiology clerkship turn out to be the most daring, and the most life changing. Every chance for Sean to learn from colleagues or connect with a patient is an opportunity for Dr. Plunkett to ruin his medical career. The bigger they are, the harder they fall; but sometimes the bigger they are, the harder they hit.
