As I grow older and gain experience… the more I realise how little I know and more importantly – how little I control.
My sense of knowing things gets better over time. I am learning to say “no” more often to people, who I know that giving chemotherapy would be possibly detrimental. I am learning the difference between treating someone and actually giving people hope. I am learning that asking other people for help is vital.
Nurses who spend more time with the patient and their families give me phenomenal insights into patients. So many patients tell nurses the actual truth about their life circumstances, social supports (or lack of them) and more.
The Pastoral care person or social work gain immense knowledge about patients and their home situations.
Everyday is a new day. Learn something new daily.
God is my guide.
