Lessons learned in the life of a pediatric intensivist.
The metamorphosis from a medical student to a professor is a complex process. It involves not only the acquisition of new knowledge but also the impact of countless human interactions throughout one's life. By necessity therefore, this evolution is a never ending process of enrichment of the mind and the soul. An important contributor to this process is learning from the perspectives developed by others based on their experiences. I describe seven valuable lessons learned during my life that may be helpful to the developing pediatric intensivists.
