Simple Idea for a Novel

The moment just came to me. I had the thought of doctor Izzie Stevens from the show, Grey's Anatomy, which words elicited her character as "unprepared" and "youthful." Just not ready for the end road. Then I thought of myself, a selfish and unready student to face the lives of others, dependant as if it were on my hands. Then the idea surged within me that I had become a doctor, saving lives of every sick person that came to my hospital—even my loved ones. Then I thought that there needs to be growth to every doctor that faces trials, for the sake of growing as a person and as his profession. Here is where I finally hit the nerve (pun intended): that I operated on my immediate family—or even those who I cared about. I assumed this was a way to create the betterment of a person individually and as a professional (i.e. medical doctor). After all, the professional and the personal are almost the same. They seek the same goals in what they love and pursue. Here I figured that where the lives of those we care about are at stake, we tend to think more stringently focused and impassive about other frivolities—a paradox. These moments of our lives leave us to seek a more focused life. It makes us better. I still have to think of the characters that play a role in the life of the main character. The family has to push him to be better. Maybe he ignores the family—like myself—and later becomes a better man (not that I'm there yet, or can be). Well, the man does become better. They all are empty and frivolous people with problems. They all blame each other, but they still need each other to survive. The one character needs mainly the saving; so in reality, he is one being saved. He is solicitous in his own life, particular of doing things right; and by right, I mean that he seeks to do what he sees fit for his own life.
