My relationships with patients in the hospital are generally short-term, but once in a while, I will get to know a patient well over time. We used to call these patients “frequent flyers”, but such a moniker cannot possibly be politically correct. Recently, I heard someone suggest the term “alumni'' although that doesn’t do these relationships justice either. There are some patients, especially in smaller community hospitals, who become a part of the institution.
What a story! Thank you so much for sharing hers, and yours
Oh what a delightful read! I love Ruby! It’s never too late to find our vocation! The throne metaphor is a hoot! You brightened this rainy day.
