The Problem With 'Forever'

So, I am currently an intern doctor. What once felt like an impossible dream is now, my reality. But now that I take rounds and enquire patients everyday - I think a new dream has taken place in my heart.Today, I dream of somehow using my music, the songs, the melodies that helped me with my burn out, just until last month- I plan to use that music to cure the patients I meet everyday.Well, realistically speaking, I can't cure Arthritis and Diabetic patients with music, but I dream of curing their stress. Using music for healing feels like a possibility when I go to the hospital everyday and that's what I am loving right now as an intern.The process of my thoughts changing to adapt to the life I am currently living. Even now, me and my best friend listen to music to shake off built up stress and exhaustion in a crowded trains, but who knew I could think of it as an alternative medicine to recommend to my patients.Maybe they won’t feel the cure immediately, but I am sure they will feel lighter, and that's what changing my forever recently. What I mean is that - I thought I'll be one typical kind of doctor, doing generic stuff, but this idea itself fueled and healed something in me.Just because medicines and sickness brew boredom and fatigue of the treatment- it doesn’t have to be like that forever.Nothing has to be the same forever - everything has the potential to change for the better.
