Recently, I've started reading the obituaries. I wonder what happens to patients when they leave us and finally have gotten to the point where I've started seeking out that information. and then, I discovered this...
It's a very humbling experience (and shocking too) to realize I made that much of an impact in someone's day/hospital stay/life that I am mentioned in their obituary. I hope I never forget this feeling so that I may continue to serve this population with all the grace, love and dedication I can muster.
