One of my daughters hurt her foot yesterday morning - hurt it enough that we knew we needed an X-ray and a doctor. As any parent knows, the experience of going to any form of an accident and emergency clinic can be so sh*tty. I was not looking forward it but Trav and I quickly made plans on how to look after our little ones, gathered snacks and books (and phone… coz teenager 🙄) and off my daughter and I went, hoping to get ahead of the queue.
And you know what, we didn’t have to wait that long to see the triage nurse and you know what was even more important than that? It was that the triage nurse was so kind, she really ‘saw’ my daughter, she assumed the best, took great care and spent a moment to connect with another human 🧡 Back to the waiting room we went and wait we did and it made me emotional to see this woman truly ‘see’ each patient she called for - an injured old man, an sick little girl - always taking a moment to make a heart felt connection.
So thank you Triage nurse for looking after us, and everyone else and reminding me of the good in people and inspiring me to bring more heart- felt connections into my life too 🧡
