Getting back my mojo

The Urban Dictionary defines one's mojo as your sense of purpose and meaning in life. Your mojo is your personal energy and charisma, your cool or style essence. Mojo is that little bit of majic that sets you apart from everyone else. Its that sparkle, the passion that makes each person totally awesome in their own unique way.
Sounds just epic to me! Wonder where I could buy me a bit of that stuff. I never knew I had me a little mojo until there was a void where my mojo used to be. I had regressed to a place where I hated my job. It had become monotonous and frustrating and didn't stimulate me as it used to do. Despite that, my personal life was being neglected as I was spending all my time at work. I was stuck in a rut.
Now, I refer you back to my very first post on this blog. Its all about a stab heart. I just LOVE stab heart cases! I don't mean that in the figurative sense but actual knife-through-the-heart surgical cases. I do say this with the utmost respect to the patient involved. To be so close to the physical life force keeping a body pulsing, and to really see the fragility of life in such a dramatic way, can only jolt one's mojo back into your own personhood.
The specific patient I refer to was rushed into casualties by highly charged ambulance men, very aware of the urgency of the situation. A jagged 10cm long wound cut across his left precordium. Blood bubbled out in gusts with every gasp he took. I explored the wound with my finger. Under the sharp edge of his fractured rib, I could clearly feel his, already weak heart beating. After rapid resus efforts we rushed him to theater; sawed open his chest; stopped the bleeding; and with God 's grace, granted him another chance at life.
The adrenaline and, I guess, the sense of achievement jolted life back into me too.
As we pushed the patient into theater, he stopped me. With effort, he whispered, "Doctor, do your best." I was truelly moved. I don't only have the responsibility towards myself to be connected to my job and my life but other people depend on me to pour my energy and passion into being the best doctor and surgeon I can be.
