evidence: Despite Dr. Barfield’s heartbreaking narratives about patients, there’s still hope and positivity in his words. I loved how he stated, "I take it as a religious discipline to be prepared to fail…and to weep with the injured because of my failure, and to grow from it, and to move on with hope." I was reminded of a quote by Winston Churchill: "The pessimist sees difficulty in every opportunity. In the little time we have on this plane of existence, there’s little sense in accepting failure and moping around in defeat.That’s not the human way. That’s not how we eradicated smallpox, built democracies, and entered the realm of space. So, in the face of our eventual, certain demise, there’s no real reason to not at least try achieving all of our hopes and dreams. [...] Raymond Chen, Huang Fellow ’22
