Tears of Salt, Pietro Bartolo

Most physicians are telling burnout stories– this is how the work is killing me– these days. Bartolo writes “because I do not want them to be forgotten.” Although trained as an obstetrician, Bartolo takes care of all who wash up on the shores of his island. A beautiful example of how true doctoring means opening closed doors: “We must open our doors and homes to the migrants.”
