One of the patients was having real trouble breathing overnight and he didn't have any family with him and so
00:00:06
we'd had to get ICU to review him and put him on breathing apparatuses and he
00:00:11
did remind me of my dad. Like even just thinking about it now makes me emotional. But um
00:00:18
he was okay. But in the morning when I was about to go home, I had finished my shift. I just thought if his family
00:00:24
comes to see him today and he's completely hooked up, that's so scary. So, I called his wife just to let her
00:00:32
know. That just felt normal to me. But someone was sitting next to me and said, "Oh my gosh, that's really nice that you
00:00:38
just called his wife to let him know that." And I thought, "Was it like this
00:00:41
has happened overnight and he's hooked up to a lot of things right now, so when
00:00:44
you come like don't don't worry um or don't be alarmed.
