    Default What I am thankful for...

    While most people were off enjoying the holiday with family and friends, I was otherwise occupied. I spent the day at work...Considering what I do, that's not a bad way to spend a holiday. You see, I was helping to save a life, a couple actually. I was performing hemodialysis on two critically ill patients, keeping one from being intubated and placed on a ventilator, and helping bring one young man back from the brink of death.

    I am thankful that I have the skills and the talent to do this work, and do it well.

    Nice to hear/see about someone who willingly gives to others, especially on a holiday. I'm sure there are some families out there who are quite thankful for your efforts today.

    One of my biggest fears is being on a ventilator. Nice work, Bully.

    "A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself."
    Tullius Cicero (106-43 BC)
