One nurse asked why I needed the extra anesthesia for a common procedure. I said Doc was going to be taking a lot of biopsies. The nurses said, "Lots of biopsies? Oh! I see it's time for our break. Let's go play cards!"

I definitely need to say that the nurses of this world are totally and utterly AMAZING!!! You did also have everyone's back. The nurses were always there with their hearts on their sleeves, taking care of sick and sometimes dying patients. I am in awe of them!!!! I only got to draw blood, but it was a little bit of a team. I know that you will always have any nurses back in their time of need.

I think she needs to shadow a few nurses from different hospital settings on back to back 12 hour shifts (days & overnights) & see what she has to say for herself? I suspect she wouldn’t make it the first 12 in a Level 1 Trauma ER or any ER for that matter.<br /><br />As a former educator (left due to disability) I’d love all of those people in office who dump on teachers & pass laws that are impossible to abide by if you want to keep our students as priority! I’d also like them to shadow teachers in all types of student populations! Instead, we have a Secretary of Education currently in office that has NO public school experience. NONE! ZIP! ZILCH! She, her family & own kids have never step foot in one (for educational purposes) . How can you dictate what we need & don't needed w/ a one sided view. And we still need so much in the form of staff & resources as I’m sure you do as well, Dr. Jim!<br /><br />Beautiful letter!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7558528804236989500.post-60178699428537197872019-04-28T18:13:03.798-04:002019-04-28T18:13:03.798-04:00Thank you for your support for my profession
