當我跌落時，你願意接住嗎？

成長過程中，因為一些努力和很多的運氣，資優生們被視為教育體制中的得勝者。
出了社會，考卷上的分數變成身上一件件白袍，不變的是社會的期望，對於醫師這個不容許失敗、出錯、軟弱的角色。
但有多少人知道，從所謂資優生到醫生的這條路上，來自自我與週遭的眼光，帶來多少挫折、徬徨、焦慮、甚至憂鬱？
不敢說醫療這個行業是最勞累的，但絕對是偏向高壓的那一端。
人員情緒失調的發生率與環境互動的不友善性，也是數一數二的高。
人們為了身體的苦痛來尋求幫助，但若一個醫師對你坦承他/她的脆弱和錯誤，向你求助、尋求你的理解與體諒，你會接受嗎？
這個社會對他們所稱的菁英族群，也能擁有寬容嗎？

Catch me if I fall, would you?

Thanks to some hard work and probably more luck, those gifted and smarter students are usually think of as “winners” throughout school ages.
After they grow into adults, flying marks on the test sheets become shinny white coats, just as what the public had always expected.
What doesn’t change in time is the high expectation from the society, that some people should never fail, make mistakes, or show their weakness.
It’s funny how people never understand the unmeasurable frustration, stress, anxiety, and even depression, that many of those “genius” encounter in this path.
I can’t tel if medicine is the most tiring career one can choose, but it’s definitely one of the most stressful choices one can make owing to the high prevalence of mood disorders and hostile atmosphere in this environment.
People always come to us for their physical pain; however, will you accept a physician when he or she admit his/her fault, tripped over failure, shows his/her weakness, and reaches out to you?
Is the society kind enough to accept the so-called elites at their downs?
