First, this is not a thread to ignore ALL those who work in health care, but with the passing of Elizabeth Edwards, a special thanks to those health care practitioners who deal with death and dying on a regular basis.
Through my experience, during this time of peoples' lives, this is a period where the exceptional health care providers come forward and shine. From orderlies, to nurses, to doctors, to all people, who excel in this area of health care, I hope you know what special people you really are. Good health care practitioners at the end stages of a patient's life make a world of difference at a very terrible time. Even though times are horrible for the patient, family and loved ones of the patient, these remarkable people do the unimaginable, keep standing and keep moving on to other patients providing this exceptional care.
I hope you folks know how special you really are and even though many may be overwhelmed to remind you of such, you take it to heart knowing how important your skills are and how often times, those skills are very hard to teach.
Those who deal with death and dying are special people and this country needs more of them. And I know because my mother was one of them.
Bless you all.
