I got a lovely thank you note in the mail the other day from the daughter of one of my former patients. She said she just wanted to say "thank you" for taking such good care of her Dad while he was in the unit.
Wow.
Just when you think that all you are doing is beating your head against a wall and that nobody really appreciates your work, and you're just wiping butts and pushing drugs, and . . . . . along comes somebody to pat you on the back and remind you that -- in the words of Carl W. Buechner: "They may forget what you said, but they will never forget how you made them feel."
Makes me want to pass it on.
