“There was a time when the white coat symbolized courage. It meant that a physician stood between humanity and harm, guided not by decree but by conscience. We earned our knowledge through humility, not hierarchy; our oaths through suffering, not signatures. Somewhere along the way, that covenant was broken. Medicine ceased to be a vocation of service and became a system of obedience.” (11/02/25)
