Praised Be Those Merciful Caregivers

Nurses, Medics and Techs

Through them flows the true milk of human kindness from that hidden spring of grace

Always ready to abandon their keyboards to look into your eyes and really listen

They actually take the time to answer all your questions...and get answers if they cannot

They will simply chat to help and calm you down, take your hand when things are truly overwhelming

They do not simply provide required health care...one knows they actually do care about their patients

Providing that real caring is some of the finest and most effective interventions a human can perform

And they actually remember their patients and seem truly eager to hear of their progress

For theirs is that miraculous tender mercy that cannot be learned or faked

Underpaid for their job descriptions, they nonetheless continue to dispense an unpaid tenderness to the sick

Dealing with the sick, injured, soiled and dying every day, though subject to burnout, they selflessly deal

Like opening a window in a dark room, they enter and patients bask in the warm sunshine of their support

No slaves to fashion these modern Madonnas, we remember them for their reassuring voices and gentle smiles

More likely to burnout given the huge numbers of sick and injured they must treat every day

Possibly suffering a loss of empathy due to grinding schedules forced upon them by corporate overlords

Those left unscathed are too often those for whom caregiving is simply a means to an economic end

But, your thankfulness can re-inspire them. Therefore, Show your love for your caring Providers - PRN
