I have a boring blog... ;)

I read blogs, family blogs mostly. I like hearing about peoples lives. It's like reading a continuous novel about a most interesting family. A lot of the blogs I read are former patients of our unit. They go through the most intense of times, spending MONTHS in the hospital, but they have the most positive out looks on life. Their blogs are full of love, happiness, anecdotes, stories, and every day mishaps. I am so blessed to have a boring blog. John and I are so blessed with health and everything we need. We haven't had the trauma of long hospital stays, or sick family members. We are blessed.

On a side note, if you ever find yourself in the hospital for extended or short stays, remember the medical team is there to help you. We aren't out to make your life miserable. We didn't put you in the hospital. We are making decisions based on what we believe is the most beneficial. I don't go to work every day thinking how can I not listen to what this family wants, how can I make their life worse. We are doing the best we can with the options we have. We make mistakes. We are human. How many mistakes do you make at work each day? Are you allowed to make mistakes, but we are not? I understand we have your life in our hands, we all understand. We all have bad days, our goal is not to ruin your life. Please be understanding and compassionate to the nurses and doctors who work long hours, staying late, lacking sleep, just to provide the best quality of care. Thanks for letting me get that out of my system.

Don't get me wrong, I love my job. I love my patients. I love their families. I want everyone to be aware that we are all human.


Tonight is date night with the husband. I have to find something new to wear, I have been so safe with my outfits, wearing the same ones over and over. Maybe I should try to copy some of Rochelle Van Sickel's blog outfits ;) http://rochelleapproved.tumblr.com/
