The meaning of (my) life


One day, my patient asked me this question as we were coming to a close of the clinic consult. This was a patient coming for her last review. She was going to be discharged from any further follow-ups as she has recovered fully.

Dr : "Well, before I discharge you, can I ask if you have any other questions?"

Pt: "Dr Flat, can you tell me what is the meaning of life?"

(Reflection is a great tool)

Dr: "Well, what do you think is the meaning of life?"

Pt: "..."

Dr: "..."

Life is what we make it out to be.
