Purpose

I have found a purpose. I have been doing a lot of processing trying to determine what about working with the Hoopa Valley Tribe brought me this new found inspiration. Though I am still not entirely sure, I do know many of the patients I saw need an advocate, they need someone to care for them, to embrace their flaws, someone who will give them their best work because they care. I CARE A LOT. I am feeling incredibly sad, a little heart broken, to be leaving this rotation and it is because I know I did good for the patients here. I have done more good in the last six weeks than all my other rotations combined. I am incredibly grateful for the opportunity I had at K'ima:w medical center and hope to one day work at an IHS clinic again.
