title: The Time of Our Lives: A Perspective from the Keystone IV Conference.
abstract: We often experience time as a commodity-in excess for those who suffer; in scarcity for those who minister to them. But it is also a teacher, a tool, and a generous yardstick for measuring one's career-if we take the time to reflect on it. This is an essay about time and timing as a doctor negotiates the practice of medicine.
