Nurses and Doctors
#11
Thank you. I really try to go the extra mile for my patients. I am their advocate and speak up in their behalf. Just a few thank you's that are so nice and sincere make up for all those who are not as nice, or who forget. It's pretty easy to become attached to patients - and that's not so bad since they KNOW I care!

I too thank you for the recognition.
My nursing career lasted 40years until recently due to chronic disabilities. When I started, I wore a white uniform dress with white stockings and of course my white cap with black stripe. Kidney transplants were new and most of today's instruments, diagnostic devices, and treatments were unimaginable. The one constant was always the devotion and compassion I sincerely had for my patients. That's what I miss.

I offer up a huge thank you as well..My DH had 4 surgeries in about 18 months. It all came upon us very suddenly and with neither of us ever having even been sick before, we had NO idea what to expect! Literally, our lives depended on those nurses and Drs. With 3 different hospital stays at 2 different hospitals....we recieved excellent care delivered with compassion that we can never repay. Thank you to all caregivers...you are truly appreciated!

I know what you mean about the accounting dept.'s.
We had some retirement money, and we keep dipping into it, to pay the medical bills! me, you, both hubbies...group hug!!!
I had to pay some ppl what i could a month, and they either had to take it, or put me in collections. So far, we have 'dipped', and kept our noses above the water, but we are not even 'old', yet! I am 51!
more hugs 4 u...lol, I am a hugger :wink:
I worked in the medical environment for about four years, and it is tough work. The nurses are the crux of everything.
Ppl don't see behind the walls, when the nurses are with those doctors, but I did! I was there.
You think your nurse is ignoring you, or on a cigarette break? think again.
She may be going to bat for you, hustling her hiny up and down the hall, no matter how she feels, or what's going on at home.
Be kind to the nurses, no matter what you may think...just try taking a one day walk in their shoes,...you'll run screaming, barefoot, real quick :wink: ( :thumbup: male and female :thumbup: )
