I went for a routine blood test the other day. Have been going for years. The nurse took a while to call my name. The reason? She was reading my notes. She was flabbergasted at what I’d experienced. She talked with me for around 35 mins. Way over the allocated appointment. She told me her personal experience too.
The reason for this post is I didn’t think she’d remember me or would have the time to actually care. She’s a very nice woman. But the fact she read my notes, took a genuine interest in what I was saying and didn’t take the blood and BP until we’d finished chatting shows she’s an amazing person. I didn’t go there with my story of abuse, I was just getting blood taken.
Such respect for the woman.
