" We were learning that all the training and all the caring in the world were not going to solve every problem. This wasn't medical school. We weren't going to ace every exam. Silver-haired professors weren't going to pat us on the head and marvel at our intellectual acumen. We weren't going to win every battle. "

― Michael J. Collins , Hot Lights, Cold Steel: Life, Death and Sleepless Nights in a Surgeon's First Years
