Daddy, You Were My First Patient

Wednesday, June 3, 2009 by Nurses in Action
I was 16 when my father was diagnosed with cancer. I remember the last few days of his life. Hospice had been called in. I watched the nurses take care of him. They gave him his medicine and bathed him. But I wanted to be the one to take care of him. I wanted to make sure he had everything he needed. I could not give him medicines then but one thing I could do was make sure he knew that I would be there to hold the pan when he needed to throw up, I would be the one to put cold cloths on his head and I would make sure he knew I was there, that I loved him. From that moment on I knew I could make a difference and serve others w/my heart...
