The most challenging thing I experienced was taking out teeth from a child with cerebral palsy. He couldn’t speak, but there was so much fear in his eyes; so much pain in his eyes…. We did the right thing, but it takes something from you

@thecurioushuman @eff_hey Listen .. man.. I hear you … Cancer is…the worst affliction. I’ve seen it close up. It tears a human being apart; their body destroys itself. Cancer treatment sometimes is worse than the disease. I totally understand if someone opts to not go through that horrific experience.
