Being board certified in Internal Medicine and Pediatrics and working in a full spectrum primary care practice I get to see all types of people every day. Yesterday, for instance, I took care of a two week old and then went across the hall to care for a 99 year old. I absolutely love that part of my job.
That age difference also allows for me to gain a unique perspective on the choices we all have to make. I literally will walk out of one room having told a middle aged woman she has lung cancer to the next room only to find out a teenage girl had her first cigarette recently. I’ll counsel a diabetic on starting insulin then go meet a sixth grader who is 85lbs overweight.
When you can see the end of every new beginning it impresses upon me the urgent need to change our destiny. We must learn to choose differently and to choose wiser.
Watch this video and see what I mean. I warn you though it doesn’t pull any punches. I have seen a patient at every stage portrayed in that man’s life even the last one. At each stage we can choose differently and avoid the ending.
