Thanking all healthcare workers from the bottom of our hearts – Earth to Body

The-missing-glove-min

Thanking all healthcare workers – Her shift was soon to begin. An emergency doctor, prepared for battle. Feet encased, monkey suit secured, hair harnessed, face masked.  Glove? Only one? No time to search. Grabbing another, she greets her first patient of the day.

An hour later her nurse giggled, We found the missing glove, Doctor.

But why had no one said anything?

Perhaps the baby the doctor gently prodded and probed and soothed did enjoy the distraction of the plastic five finger mobile. Babies do see all. But the father had made no comment.  Perhaps he was unaware of a proper protocol, if any existed. Perhaps he was just caught up in the very real angst of visiting a hospital with a sick child.

Laughter eased tension. A needed moment of levity at the battlefront in dire times.
