Do you believe your job is important? Are you making a difference?

For the more senior members, is this something that has changed over your career?

Here's a crazy one - my son was born dead. Still not sure what happened, but he died just before birth. After being resuscitated he was placed on a technique called extracorporeal membrane oxygenation and it saved his life. Turns out, that technique is funded by and developed through MRMC where I work. Still one of the projects I help to manage.

Oh... and for reference... this is what a kid born dead looks like thanks to ECMO. The Army literally gave my son life:

My jobs have always been important and if I wasn't making a difference, I would hope someone would have told me.
