Healthcare is stressful. People ask how we keep doing it.
We consolidated our offices this year. Cleaning out years of files means touching every piece of paper in the place. Then we found a box of thank you notes.
Here are a few that stopped us:
A caregiver who rode along to hospice without being asked. Aides delivered in the middle of the night because a family called and said they were done. Someone who read to a man in his own living room so he could stay in the house he loved. A social worker with twenty years in, saying we made her job easier on the hardest case she'd had.
That box is our why. Some days this work is scheduling and payroll and paperwork. Then you open something like that.
Sometimes it's good to remember why you do it.
