Making A Little Difference...

What's the difference between being a doctor and being a nurse??
Besides the title in front of your name of course...

Most of the time, if you asked a patient,
He/she will be closer to the nurse rather than the doctor,
Partially because they're in contact with them more often,
Not just like the doctors who whisk in and out of the rooms...

Sometimes, when I"m doing rounds,
I just feel as if the doctor's not really listening to the patient's concerns,
Not really treating them... but rather, their illness...

Everytime I see that,
I constantly tell myself that I don't wanna be that way,
And that is why, I always try to give them an extra minute or two,
Allow them to talk about their pets, or their grandchildren,
Or... nothing at all really.

Even if it means I may not get off work on time...
Even if it means I'd have to stay an extra hour everyday to finish my work.
Cause that little bit of your time could mean alot to the person on the receiving end...

And today, I was on the receiving end...
I received...
a big easter egg from her.

I smiled,
and she smiled...
And I know that I made a little difference to her,
during her extended stay here with us.

HAPPY EASTER~!

May you get well soon...
