All internists are at heart a strange mix of both detective and engineer. We are attracted to Internal Medicine in the first place because we are detectives, we want to solve problems, and the problems we want to solve are what makes people sick, because it hurts us when someone suffers, when someone presents with a complex of symptoms that causes them pain. We cannot help ourselves, when faced with someone who is hurting we cannot help but respond, to investigate. Why is this happening? we ask ourselves, late at night, laying bed, why? Driving into work early in the morning, while it is still dark, tell me you have not done this; of course you have, you are in Internists. This drives you, it makes you crazy, the not knowing, not able to understand why. This is the heart of an Internist.

But there is another part to your heart, if you are an Internist. This is the part that, when you finally understand the reason for the suffering, you want to attack it, you want to fix it. Once you understand the reason for the problem, you and I cannot rest until it is fixed. Read More...

BOSTON (CBS) When two bombs exploded on Boylston Street last year, doctors and nurses rushed into action. A new exhibit is honoring their response. Strong Medicine is a digital archive of get well cards, photographs, reflections, and other media documenting the medical communitys response to the Boston Marathon bombings.

Dr. Scott Podolsky, director of the Center for the History of Medicine at the Countway Library, is overseeing the project. Its a space for reflection, a space for healing, Dr. Podolsky said.

A large part of the archive is a collection of audio interviews of medical personnel who played a role that day. Joan Ilacqua has conducted several of these interviews. Ive had some people in interviews say they feel guilty they didnt do enough, other people say they felt worried and scared and shut that completely off so they could do their job, Ilacqua said.

In his interview, Dr. Alasdair Conn, who was head of the Mass General Emergency Room, said he had never experienced anything like that before. I had never seen that many severely injured patients all at once, Dr. Alasdair Conn said.

Adrienne Wald, the director of nursing at UMass Boston, was overseeing 30 nursing students in the medical tent. I told them what a terrific time they were going to have, Wald said. That theres nothing like being at the finish line of the Boston Marathon. Little did I know.

And Erin McDonough, the chief of communications at the Brigham, didnt see that her son had texted her four times, worried she was in danger. McDonough says, The fourth one was mom, please. Please, please just come home. Please Im scared.
