But often what we’re talking about is this experience that we can describe physically inside of our body, the sensation that we’re having as we’re anticipating that things may go wrong or badly in some kind of way.

It was in the mid-nineties, and about half of the patients that we cared for in the inpatient service were homeless. We would drill down on the tenth differential diagnosis of medium vessel vasculitis, and then we would discharge them back out to the streets. We would admit them to the hospital. It felt like a moral injury.
