I hope that someday if I need the care, that you are the one doing it. Thank you for being exceptional.

Yeah 10 years and a dozen Daisy noms in and I still feel like my foot is constantly in my mouth. You have to walk this horrible tightrope of remembering this is the worst day of someone’s life then emotionally file it under your 400th Tuesday. The cognitive dissonance of that alone is enough to drive you bonkers.

Daisy noms?

System for writing thank you notes to a nurse. They give you a little enamel pin to put on your badge that I’m not comfortable possibly accidentally losing on an acute psych unit. Then about every quarter each hospital gives an award to one of the nominations. So like, objectively, at least a few of my patients feel cared for. It’s just hard to feel that way sometimes.
