Managing Chaos | to pdf >>
by J. Trig Brown, MD, MPH

 

 

Always ask, "what else?"
pan for hidden gold.
Expect the worst,
listen to that inner voice
where Nature hides her doom.
When things are good,
never brag
lest wanting blame for bad.
When behind, slow down,
dot that i, recheck that lab.
When angry, smile.
Ruffled, sit.
Hurried, pause.
Give ten when asked for one.
Listen.
Smile.
Shake that hand.
Touch.
Touch.
Touch again.
And foremost, do no harm.
What else?
