Karma




I had a thought as I drove home from work last night. The notion that flew into my head was that nurses must have had bad karma in their previous lives.

I mean, look at what we do for a living.

I had to catheterize several patients yesterday. Putting a tube into someone's urethra can hardly be catagorized as fun.

I've had to give enemas countless times, dress wounds that could make any normal person run out of the room in horror, lift and carry patients from one place to another, suction gunk from mouths and throats, and the list goes on.

But, then again, maybe it's not bad karma in a previous life, but good karma.



Though, I must say, I've never had my hand kissed. *grin*

I don't know how you do it, but I'm glad you do. I do know those in your care have good karma.

I have had my hand kissed before and it's an awesome experience! Where do you get your nursing graphics from? I google my brains out and never seem to find any great pics to put with my posts.
