Death has no age limit. It is waiting for any age.
|
One Christmas week I was working day shift.
|
|
Inside was some jars of homemade peas, kraut, and some fruits and veggies his wife put up.
|
The man's son was beating his father on the chest and yelling his father's name.
|
|
One foot in mouth on that one.
|
Most patients follow their discharge instructions and then you get those that don't.
|
|
When I was doing my student rotation, I thought "Gee this will be so much fun."
|
It felt so good to send little ones home well
|
|
I know what it is like to have one's heart in one's throat and pound so hard
|
At times it is as frantic as the tv series ER and slow as a snail's pace at other times.
|
|
This patient was a No Code Blue (NCB or DNR).
|
He had served 4 yrs in Vietnam without a scratch
|
|
I looked out the window and there she was playing and dancing in the rain.
|
|
|
She went into a fit of hilarious laughter to the point of tears streaming down her cheeks.
|
I had that little fellow weighed, measured in length and head measured, bathed and in the incubator.
|
|
One day on smoke break, she told me that her chest hurt all night and it hurt to smoke
|
we had a code blue on a new surgery patient. He was a young man in his 30's.
|
|
Jane, this is God
|
You never saw the children or any visitors during the entire admission.
|
|
She always wore a blond wig with every hair in place.
|
About a minute to Midnight, one of the visitors came up to our desk
|
|
She valued the life of her unborn child over her own.
|
One patient that I took care of had an angioplasty done.
|
|
I was thinking about some unusual events that take place that have no real explanation.
|
His neck was so swollen that you did not know where the swelling began or where the bandage ended.
|
|
One Christmas, we had a lot of young people on our cancer ward.
|
One day we had a patient with COPD... Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease.
|
|
I looked up from the desk that afternoon and saw an Easter bunny come hopping down the hall
|
He died alone.
|
|
Remembering Doc. I feel that he helped brighten my world by just knowing him.
