The forwards rush and sad slow.

not just a nurse. Add comments
May 272012

Just another week at the office.
The lady who will collapse in church. The man who will have a big white zero on his cat-scan.
The girl who will be crushed by a giant fish.
Pain. Laughter. Crazy.
The forwards rush and sad slow.

Only it isn’t just another week. It is the last week.
At least for a while or more1.

    You will be such a loss to the hospital and the staff around you and the patients too. Luckily for us you will continue to write and share your thoughts in your unique way.
    Stay happy. :)

    • ofelia said: Never heard about MAP before today, I had been taking medication for high blood pressure for10 years, until I found a Dr. that told me that I could get rid of the pills with alternative medicine, been off the pills for three months now, and there are days that I worry about my readings, even though most of them are within normal...

    • John said: It’s not a failure of leadership but a plan to destabilize our medical system and fully privatize it. No more medicare, user pays, just like in the U.S. Also an excuse to import foreigners, give them citizinship, then use there citizinship to increase Australia’s international debt borrowing. No, you won’t read that...

    • Rachel said: I agree with you Fabbia. No matter how much we try to be good at educating our patients, at the end it is still up to the patient’s decision whether to follow what we have said or not. On our side, at least we know we have given whats the best for them. We can’t touch every patient’s lives always.
