      To make fun of “your kind,” I was walking out from the hospital the other morning and I see a vehicle roll up into the physician parking lot. Out came an older gentleman in a white coat well past his knees and on his face was a pair of protective glasses that one would use after having their eyes dilated. They were blacked out in all directions, and sure as hell across his left chest in embroidered black script said “Radiology.” I died laughing the whole way to my car. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

    I graduated from med school in 1979, family medicine residency in 1982, and I retired in 2019. This address excited me , inspired me, and brought back so many memories of the most heart wrenching, heart aching, and also the most wonderful days of my life as a family doctor. My fellow residents were like family to me, but like Dr. G, if it weren't for my wife, I would have never made it (literally for Dr. G.) She's my best friend and my rock to this very day 55 years after I first asked her out on a date and 49 years after our marriage. I always say "When we were in med school," and "When we were in residency."

Graduated in 1997 and still practice Internal medicine on the East Coast. Never forget the people by your side when times were tough and you were at your lowest in life.

      Happy to hear. My wife was a constant impediment. She tried repeatedly to make me fail. She ruined my sleep, refused to help with normal house chores, and generally made some money so she could party with guys in my class who did fail. I finished, made children, and tried to act like she made me stronger. She didn’t. She left me (and the kids). We all have a different path.

      Take what he shares here and in his series on health care-- what you have experienced and what you think you know.
      Expand your thinking and you may very well find your to acknowledging the following
      Lovely, Thank you. You Elicit Laughter even more so You inspire many to Expand Independent Thinking
      You don't have to wait 4-6-10 years to improve the health of humanity.
      Expand Your INDEPENDENT THINKING :)
      Really Ask Yourself and Your Peers to Evaluate the following Atoms do not Equal Energy
      REAL PREVENTATIVE MEDICINE starts with, How We Breathe (extrapolate the premise)
      How have we, Individual Humans, been duped into NOT KNOWING How to Breathe to control your PSNS - thus improve health and function???
      Adults can decide everything that we Put into Our Mouth and HOW WE THE ENTIRE BODY Harness innate ability to Control Your Breath.
      How we use our body to fuel cellular function, hmm The way we BREATHE You get to decide
      Teach Yourself what You Already Know but have been distracted from realizing, implementing and sharing humanity.
      FIRST Exhale through soft-kiss pursed lips of your mouth take TWICE as LONG to Exhales through your mouth as the slow gentle INHALE through your nost
      Think about it Try It Share it With Our Breathing we optimize cellular function and best prime the body to best handle any challenge.
      With each exhale we stimulate the PSNS Our Rest and Digest portion of Nervous System
      Gentle Prolonged Exhales Try it for yourself. Slow Your Heart Rate for a more efficient Fill. Expand / dilate your every blood vessel-
      Expand Your THINKING reverting to what you have learning in Biology and Chemistry
      Just Exhale through the mouth, inhale through the nose. We may just find our back to feeling good in our skin.
      Ultimately freeing ourself from this near constant state of stress we unwittingly perpetrate against ourself e.g. FUEL YOUR BODY FIT
      FUEILING YOUR BODY FIT STARTS AND CONTINUES WITH HOW WE CHOOSE TO BREATHE.
      We Humans must exercise our freedom to BREATHE how to improve our everything. Each of us on this Marble possess the FREEDOM on We choose to breathe-

      You don't have to wait 4-6-10 years to improve the health of humanity

I have graduated med school years ago, in a whole another country, am now at the very end of the residency, so truly have no memory of what was said at my graduation. But I will remember this speech, because it touched something deep, bringing back all of the terrors and joys of the med school. And simultaneously - brought back passion and hope for the future in this profession. Made me feel proud.

I had another doctor who fought tooth and nail to get insurance to cover my CT which detected cancer.

    Beautiful human talk that hopefully goes forward with these youngsters - ESPECIALLY the talk to people and don't get scared of making mistakes - and get out and sort out the healthcare system - because people matter!

    I don't remember if any of my graduations even had a commencement speech. This is just a great speech on living and the fact that universities always find you is so incredibly true!

    I always knew you were Impressive Dr. G.
    I… damn.
    I never knew how much.
    All of y’all need to fall down the rabbit hole I did and learn about this man’s life, attitude, how much he’s given.
    Thank you, sir.

    Love this guy. As a retired RN I get your comedy mostly. As for the SAD lights, I tried one in the 90s and could swear that it gave me floaters so I got rid of it. Maybe you can tell me if that is just my imagination.👁️

    So true, a shared experience by all medical practitioners.
    While not perfect, being in a country with universal healthcare certainly makes it much easier to provide care to everyone.
    The clinical challenges are the same worldwide, best graduation speech in talking about the fear and need to look after each other.
