Patience with Patients

On Monday while working in Phillips 3 East, a patient had stopped me while I was doing my usual water run. This tends to happen a couple of times but instead of asking me to do something for her, she was curious to learn more about myself. The lady was so sweet and she was glad to hear that I wanted to pursue a career in medicine. Because she was one of the last rooms I had come to, I was able to sit down and have a nice chat with her and learn more about her as well. I love talking with the patients as seeing them smile warms my heart. It's moments like these that remind me why I want to pursue medicine in the first place!
