  232. A vocation1 for the vigorous 充满活力者的职业 vigor2-vocational
The vigor and vitality3 that one must possess to be a doctor is amazing. Perhaps many have the vision, but only the truly vigorous can handle such a vocation. Virtuosity4 is a must. So is patience. You spend many years studying. Some of the topics are quite mundane5, such as the ancient vitalists. Modern vitalism is, of course, much more important and exciting. I still have vivid memories of my vocational pitfalls6 and accomplishments7. I remember working in the emergency room during third year rotations8. The ER can be a strange place, at times violent, at all times filled with virtually every section and class of society. On one foggy night when visibility was low, violence broke out in the ER. A certain person wandered in and began asking the secretary about a patient’s private information. As this violates the patient’s privacy, the secretary would not answer his questions. He became a bit too vivacious9 and began scaring the secretary. I have certain standards of virtue10 that I follow. Included in those standards is peaceful mutual11 respect. But this guy was a bit too loud and disruptive and appeared a little too dangerous. I was also very tired that night. So, I hit him on the head really hard with a bottle and knocked him out. I, of course, checked his vital signs to make sure he was okay. Some people thought my act cruel and unwarranted, but later I was nicely vindicated12. The guy was suffering from a rare viral infection. He didn’t know about if and neither did anyone else at the time. He caught it from coming into contact with a rare species of vine while on a hiking trip searching for beautiful vistas14. This virus was also highly communicable. The only known cure was to pump a high viscosity16 liquid, a special medicine, into his veins17. Such viscous18 material does not always work, but in his case, it did.
I have many crazy stories along those lines to tell, but I’ll leave you with just one.
