      Lela, After reading your journal entry the one thing I can say is I could not do your job for no amount of money. It takes a special person to deal with this on a daily basis and I am sure that after doing it so long you can develop the feelings you have. I can also say that when my husband was in the hospital I was there all the time and when I could do things for him I did so I did not have to ring for the nurses all the time. We were back and forth on the same floor for several months I would make huge platters of fruit & cookies & cakes with a thank you card to all the nurses on the Oncology Floor, I also did the radiology department who cared for him during his daily radiation and his doctors and assistants. I was so very grateful to all of them for giving him such good care I wanted them to know they are appreciated. It seems that you are so over worked you have not gotten that appreciation you deserve and I guess you are hurting so much with your feelings that you just want to let them out good or bad. I understand that I am known as someone who can hold a grudge for life and my husband would always tell me to let it go and be happy. Easier said then done I would say. I wish you some peace within yourself and take some time for you. If you want to vent I am always here I am not a nurse but I can listen and I care believe it or not. Take it easy on yourself and keep in touch. Kim

      lela, I just cant believe you really feel the way you do in your last journal. I do hope Im wrong. I hope and pray it was not even you that wrote that journal. Just breaks my heart and this really puts a big black blotch on the trust and reliance on our medical care.This has really bothered me so very much.

      Hey there. Believe it or not, I was a Maverick too, until he picked his running mate. That kinda sealed the deal for me. XOXO Gracie
