Praise God!

I remember how proficient at the job she was. She once drew blood from me, and mind you, a needle to me is the barrel of a gun to the average person, and it was darn near painless. She worked diligently to be as gentle as possible.

I remember how upset she used to get at the nurses who’d become calloused and jaded at the profession. She would have literally droves of people personally request her.

I’m not sure of my point to this whole schpeil, but it has something to do with wishing people would remember that hospitals can be cold and lonely, and some people just need a smile, a gentle touch – the smallest of things to make those visits bearable.
