Stories of Kindness from Around the World

The Hospital Of Gratitude


--by pkandrj, posted Jan 15, 2015
I have a whole basketful of gratitude, gathered during my husband's hospital stay this week when everyone on the cardiac floor made him feel cared about, supported, and comfortable. They even listened to his long stories and corny jokes, with smiles on their faces.

It's wonderful to find such a large organization with uniformly high morale and the universal expertise to work as a giant team, right down to the laughing lady who dumped the trash and the security guard in the parking lot.

Thank you, thank you, hospital people for saving my husband's life and for reminding me, again and again, how wonderful people can really be.

Our RN, a man from the Philippines, was worried about his family in the typhoon, but still spent a long time with us, going over every medication in great detail, times to administer, etc., and still had time for a smile and a joke. A very positive experience full of hope and gladness!
