What Blossoms In A Hospital?
It’s May and nature is blossoming all around us but what if you are in the hospital? What blossoms there that you can appreciate?
I believe that “Hospitals Grow Good People,” which is the title of a column I wrote last month. In it, I shared how people seem to blossom with genuine kindness, compassion, empathy, respect, and neighborly traits when they are in the hospital.
I’ve witnessed patients, caregivers, and family members go out of their way to help others by taking a moment to hold an elevator or door open, pay for a stranger’s lunch, or help someone navigate the confusing corridors of the hospital. Empathy and understanding abound instead of the judgment and disrespect we see all too often in everyday life. No one pulls out a camera to record someone having a bad day, instead they pull out a helping hand or say something to help, not hurt.
I could give many examples but what are yours? What kinds of good people have you seen hospitals grow?
