This is the doctor’s way of giving warm shelter, food, a warm blanket, and clean bathroom to a homeless man on the coldest night. As long as the patient is “waiting” for lab results, exams, etc… he can stay there as long as necessary, even of it took all night long.

I’ve always considered that acknowledging someone’s achievements doesn’t diminish yours.

2/2 should we eliminate all awards that not every child has the potential to achieve? No academic awards because of those that struggle academically? No social activism awards bc not all students have the support to do so? No sports awards?
It’s a thought I still consider

My husband, who is not Catholic, always goes to parents who have struggled with children having a hard time during mass and compliment them on their parenting “I know it’s not easy mom/dad, but hang in there, you are doing great”.

Dear patient: when I answer “I don’t know” I really don’t know
I will not BS you with some lame explanation.
I’ll try to find a legit answer to your question as best I can.
Don’t ask me to nod my head yes to your guesses.
Be wary of anyone who never says “I don’t know”.

Hey "pro-lifers"! How many unwanted children will you be adopting today? How many will you foster? Especially you single, childless guys who claim to care about "children" and "babies." We KNOW their best interests are ALL you care about, right? Sure...

Dad served for nearly 29 years in the Army flying Hueys and Chinooks. He served 2 tours in Viet Nam. This was extremely important to him. His friends have told us he was a hero, but he never spoke about it.

The good stuff in inpt rehab: my pt’s spouse is also in the same rehab. The other PT and I coordinate sessions together practicing helping each other w/ their daily routines: helping take blood sugars, put on prosthesis, make a meal....

I want to express my deepest gratitude to my parish priest when he came to visit me in the hospital and brought me the Eucharist.

Same sentiments here. Jesus offered both his Body and Blood under both species at the Last Supper when he instituted the priesthood and the Holy Eucharist. So, for those reasons (🤷🏻♀️) I miss it and would like to see it’s return when prudent.

Humans have inherent dignity and should be treated with dignity. They don’t “earn” it by their physical capabilities.
Hence, people are not “burdens” but are, at the least, our responsibility and even more our opportunity to serve and protect.
You sir are monstrous.
Maybe old people shouldn’t all commit seppuku, but we need to think creatively about how they can have dignity in a world where many are only burdens. With technological change becoming more rapid, they no longer even have wisdom to offer young generations. Need new solutions.

Perhaps the best answer is to ask this patient how he felt about what was said and done vs speaking for this individual. Perhaps this man and this ER staff already have a relationship.
