How much can you actually accomplish in an hour? Run an errand, maybe? Sit in traffic. Get an oil change. When you think about it, an hour isn't very long. 60 minutes. 3600 seconds. That's it.
In medicine, though, an hour is often everything. We call it the golden hour - that magical window of time that can determine whether a patient lives, or dies.
An hour - one hour - can change everything. Forever. An hour can save your life. An hour can change your mind. Sometimes an hour is just a gift we give ourselves. For some, an hour can mean almost nothing. For others, an hour makes all the difference in the world. But in the end, it's still just an hour. One of many, many more to come. 60 minutes. 3600 seconds. That's it. And it starts all over again. And who knows what the next hour might hold?
