I spent the day grinding down some asphalt to get rid of some puddles that just don’t disappear. In the process I was reminded of the folks who work the ER in our local hospital and the hours they put in because of being “short-staffed”. Is it the lack of money, the distance to the North, the bu·reauc·ra·cy? Whatever it is that’s causing the lack of medical staff, I am so thankful for the folks that pour out their lives for those of us who need them. Having been a medic in Alaska, I’ve been there and poured out for the thankful and the ungrateful. I loved helping people, having the opportunity to maybe delay a person’s passing so that they could love one more day! Next time you cross paths with a doctor, a nurse, a med student, the hospital house cleaning staff, tell them how much you appreciate what they do and who they are. It might be your life they prolong next,😃 cuz only Jesus saves lives 😁 #hospital #ER #FortStJohn #doctor #nurse #medstudent #housekeeper #bethankful #appreciate https://www.instagram.com/p/B0h9pMqgkIF/?igshid=1i1s7ogexd0ju
