Appreciation, Assurance, Affirmation
Some patients are real gems.Not that they have exotic diseases and signs, but that they are appreciative of the work we do.
They express understanding for the effort we put in to improve their health, and show appreciation and respect for us.
This indurectly assures us that we are in the right job and affirms our dedication.
It's patients like these who make our working hours more bearable.
It's patients like these who make us feel bad (out of guilt) for missing their veins repeatedly, and making me more determined to be better at venepuncture.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Walking into the ward and having the patients recognise you and greeting you is a wonderful feeling.
Having them thank you even though all you did was ask them how was their sleep last night is a nice feeling.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It's a job full of thanks.
