I had scheduled a diagnostics appointment for myself. I waited in the waiting lounge of the hospital which was empty due to Covid restrictions.
When I finally went in for my appointment, I saw the nurse dressed up in her protective equipment from head to toe. She looked very tired and exhausted. I could see she was sweating too. At that moment I knew how hard it must be for her to perform her routine work while wearing the face shield, mask and the overall apron.
I greeted her with a warm smile and asked her how her day had been. Once we finished the test I thanked her for the wonderful job they were doing by continuing to work in such hard times. I told her how grateful we were to have such a great healthcare support system in these challenging times.
She looked at me and smiled, and really appreciated the recognition.
Takeaway
Sometimes kind words is all we need to make someone’s day.
