While most working adults only get their encouragements through monetary means, my colleague and I are glad we have alternative ways to encourage ourselves.
A little good news we heard from our boss last week was that one of our clinical trial patients was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer and apparently given only 3 months to live. But to know that it has been 9 months since patient first received treatment and is responding well till now, it's really comforting. We were overjoyed cause we knew we played a part in treating this patient. Nine months may not mean much to us healthy people but for a cancer patient, every month counts. Moreover, this patient had to care for his wife who's quite ill as well.
Though at times we feel all stressed up and pressured with unreasonable doctor's request, the thought of how this treatment has given new hope to patients always bring a smile back on our face.
I know my role may not be as prominent as the doctors, but knowing that i generated the treatment dose has already given me great encouragements.
