During my year in the ICU as I trained as a trauma surgeon, the threat of tragedy loomed daily. Every morning, I would tweak ventilator settings and titrate drips in desperate attempts to keep people alive. When all efforts failed, the afternoon would find me in a conference room, walking a tearful family through horrific news.

In her final months, she no longer recognized Bible verses that had buoyed her through so many storms. But she still had “Amazing Grace.”During Violet’s last year, I visited her every Tuesday with my Bible in hand.

Moving to a new duty station—especially overseas—can be equal parts exciting and daunting. Shipping or selling cars, managing kids’ emotions (and your own!) in empty houses, researching new schools, relocating pets, painful phone calls with SatoTravel, selling a house or finding tenants, and scouting housing sight unseen at your next duty station all add up to a logistical nightmare.

“So, you’re a trauma surgeon! Tell me, what was your best case?”Suddenly, the studio lights glared uncomfortably bright. Undoubtedly, the interviewer wanted me to offer him a flashy, adrenaline-fueled scene worthy of TV docudramas, a story stuffed to the brim with clickbait. But for those of us who toil in the wages of sin over the long years, rarely do these heart-pumping rescues linger at the forefront of our minds.
