Choice--Exercise this opportunity wisely
August 2nd, 2008
What a powerful opportunity exists when we not only "have" choice(s), but also "exercise" choice. Indeed, Webster's dictionary acknowledges the former to mean "options or alternatives" and the latter to mean "preference or selection". "Preference" suggests the guidance of choice by one's judgement or predilections.Indeed, one's choice--the act of choosing-- and the power to choose need not be "random"--determined by accident rather than design.
"Choice" can also mean "worthy of being chosen"--which shifts accountability from the one who "chooses" to the "Choice". From my perspective, it is a weighty privilege to be "Chosen" to care for a patient who desires not merely great competence and skill, but also compassion and sound judgement.
We exercise choice all the time--when we make decisions about how to spend our time, what to purchase in the store etc. When it comes to your Shoulder--pain, rotator cuff tear, arthritis--or your elbow or hand problem for that matter, there are many choices. Make certain that your "act of choosing" is thoughtful and based on an appreciation of your options. You deserve to be empowered by information about best practices, your surgeon's experience, and the alternatives.
"Choosing" is an opportunity. Being "Chosen" is a privlege.
