From the Gold Medallists and Honorary Members Awardees
Grant me the serenity to accept the things I can not change, courage to change the things I can, and wisdom to know
the difference.
“Do what you can, with what you’ve got, where you are”. I’ve returned to this quote, popularized by Teddy Roosevelt, both as a living philosophy and as a practical approach to delivering IR care. IR is not just for big hospitals in large cities. Arguably we can have even greater impact where resources are less available.
With good training and sound judgement, IR can improve lives anywhere.
