I know these cannot exactly be called tricks but I guess they surely will ease the weight of burden one might feel: 1. Care for your patient, but do not get attached. Attachment is going to stab you in the back tomorrow if you find your patient no more. 2.Know the difference between treatment and cure. Accept the limitations of medicine, accept that you aren't the force that keeps someone alive. People will still die, even if you do your best. Don't blame yourself for every death, every harm inflicted. 3. Respect yourself and your family. Yes, patients are important and duties must be fulfilled, but every once in a while, take time out to tend to your family and yourself. 4.Most importantly, if at the end of the day you feel you have given your best, that your job itself is truly a service to the society, that all those visits to the temples pale in comparison to what you do everyday, that you find your life full of purpose will be something that will truly keep you going. And how do you know your efforts have been enough? When a patient of yours expires, and the family members still keep coming to you for check-ups, you know you have done the right thing. Source
