"Where's your anger, your frustration? Are you really Mr Niceguy all day long?"

At the moment, I don't have it. People like Tom, to whom the above statement was meant for, apparently don't either. So of course I wanted to emulate him, and still do in a way, but I realised I need to be my own person.

"Just like Tom" is a quote that stuck out for me.

I'm not so sure anymore. I'm here to chart the development of myself, and have already noticed changes. When I started, Tom seemed like a "god", I even e-mailed him for his advice on my blog. Now, I feel like he is missing the point a little. An e-mail from somebody has polarised my opinion on my subject,

"the complex interaction between patient & caregiver that gets beneath the stereotype of paramedics as white knights in ambulances."

Hopefully, as this blog progresses I can monitor my development a little. I'm not saying that every post will turn to one of gloom and doom, moaning about society's misgivings, my enthusiasm remains unchanged. I think its just I need to remember that I'm going out into the world to help people, "arms open" if you will, and I think I forget sometimes that people will take advantage of that attitude.
