…There’s something humbling about becoming the patient when you’re used to being the physician.

You understand the system… but you also feel the vulnerability.

You know the guidelines…but suddenly, it’s personal.

You tell your patients to prioritize their health…
yet somehow, yours ends up last on the list.

Being on the other side is a reminder:
Medicine isn’t just science—it’s human.

And sometimes the best doctors… are the ones who remember what it feels like to sit in the patient chair

• dose-dependent
• and reversible
