Love

That’s what love’s about, surely? You do crazy things for no rhyme or reason. If my job has taught me one thing, it’s that love is the only thing. Human love. I see it every time I deliver a baby right into its mother’s arm… every time I see a fresh, eight week old heart beating on the screen and watch the faces of its parents… every time my patients come back, second or third time around. It’s love that makes the babies. And you know what? Nothing else matters.
