Cardiologist to Heart Doctor
By Ayesha Nazeer
How long must this journey be?
It took six years to become a cardiologist
It may take six lifetimes to become a heart doctor
A cardiologist learns the technicalities of opening an artery and placing a stent
A heart doctor facilitates a crack to open in the walls around the heart and lets the fear, anger and grief flow
A cardiologist aims to follow guideline directed medical therapy
A heart doctor supports feeling directed soul therapy
A cardiologist has the rationality, practicality and objectivity of a father
A heart doctor has the emotionality, softness and love of a mother
Which one am I, I often ask myself
A cardiologist or a heart doctor?
