I think one of the hardest experiences in dermatology and medicine in general is just seeing people suffer, and especially seeing lives that are cut short a little, it feels like too soon. And as a dermatology resident, I was at a big academic center. And so we were on a consult service. So people that were admitted to the hospital for any reason that would have skin issues, we would be consulted. And our particular hospital had a focus on cancer and oncology. And so we had a lot of, you know, young patients in their 20s, 30s that had end stage cancer with, you know, accompanying skin issues, whether it was from their treatments, direct like chemo effects, or maybe graft versus host disease after a transplant, or even extension of their underlying cancer into their skin. And so that's challenging to see these young people, people of any age really suffer. And that's one thing in medicine that takes, it takes a toll on you.
