I am a very burnt out nurse, however , I actually once in a blue moon get to connect with a patient that dosn't suck the life out of me.
I had the pleasure of caring for the most beautiful soul last week, he still has me smiling. It was an unusually slow night,he was my only patient. He was an 85 year old man, I sat by his bed for 2 hours straight and then off and on through the long 12 hour night, and listened to his lifes stories. Now usually If someone starts talking religion I run,but he had a true Christian spirit, he was a retired Quaker minister and a farmer, He had the best outlook on life I have seen for a VERY, VERY long time. His eyes just shined with joy, he really blessed me :)
