[Perspectives] Things shameful to be spoken about

I'll tell you a secret: the day I graduated from medical school was the happiest day of my life. I was happy on my wedding day, but I threw up as soon as my husband and I arrived at our hotel after the reception—something I've never confided to anyone before. I was happy, too, of course, on the days I gave birth to my children, but that happiness was alloyed with pain and fear. The day I became a doctor I experienced no pain or fear or even gastrointestinal upset—those would come just a few weeks later when I started internship.
