We physicians who only see a patient and is finished with the prescription , never get to care for a patient, and now with the illness of my lady and a fracture of the femur, am getting to care for my lady with simple things, now all moments of movements are so precious.
It is not that we are insensitive to our patients , but our concern for them is forgotten or too shallow, now playing this role , i find it has much depth, and though it is my wife, i think it would be the same if it was for any patient in general.
With this understanding and awareness, i think the role of a nurse if that of compassion courage and passion for the work, that keeps them going.
Looks like we have things to learn from them , than just giving injections and dressing wounds.
