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.
