That should not have been done. You did everything they asked and in my eyes you were a great patient. I think that when you work in the medical field you get hard in a way to what the patient is feeling. I am sorry for that. I think that it is a way to protect ourselves in the process of giving good care to as many patients as we can in a short amount of time. Keep your chin up. We all still love you. |
Thank you so very much for your post. It meant a lot to me. I agree with you 100% - I have a huge admiration for those in the medical field. I know that you guys deal with more sadness in a week than most of us realize exists in a lifetime. You have to "toughen" up to be able to survive. Those of you who can be tough enough to survive and temper that with compassion are the Saints in the Medical Field.
The same goes for our heroes in the law enforcement field, our fire fighters and our soldiers and many other unsung heros who help others daily. We can't forget our veternarians and the people who staff their offices - I am blessed in that area, but I see posts from so many that are not so fortunate.
