I open the fridge and have no idea why. I had no compassion for a patient yesterday. She was like a petulant child who has walked away from treatment multiple times in the past and now it's an emergency. We accommodated her and she then refused to have the central line, once she was on the table. I understand that she's scared and I am sure that she has trauma in her background but yesterday I could only think that she was being a bitch. God help me.<br /><br />I'm glad you have your chicks and Mr. Moon and your garden. Sending love and hugs and no, you're not alone and your writing reminds me that I'm not alone either.
