Beginning
Meredith:
There's a saying we hear a lot around hospitals that goes like this, "Pain is inevitable. Suffering is optional." But I doubt the person who coined it ever went through major surgery. Or maybe they didn't mean physical pain. Maybe they meant the other kind, the worse kind. Maybe they meant the kind of searing, seething, boiling pain that tells you you're a failure and a fraud. "Suffering is optional." That person didn't know what the, they were talking about.
Ending
As surgeons, we try to eliminate pain. As humans, we just try like hell to avoid it. When we can't avoid pain, we try to understand it with pithy little quotes that we can wrap our heads around like "Suffering is optional" or "Time heals all wounds'' and my personal favorite, "Every pain has a purpose." God, I hope that one's true.
