I’ve realized its hard to give at work, in a sense, because my job (anesthesia) is to take care of others, and I don’t feel its right to call ‘doing my job’ a gift to others, although I’m often so honored to be taking care of people. To be trusted by the patient and the family to take care of them at a most vulnerable (and potentially dangerous) time.
So for today’s gifts, I think I’ll count two things: one was taking over a co-workers room early so he could go home sooner since he’d had a hard day. And two, I brought syringes of a medication up to a super nice nurse (Amanda) in L&D so she didn’t have to track them down herself. Not two huge things, but nice, I think.
Tomorrow I work the same shift, and I’ll again be on the lookout for opportunities!
I love that you’re doing this! You are a special lady and I’m so excited to see what’s in store!
