    My grandma died of stage 4 lung cancer, though she never smoked, when I was 8 years old. I think of her everyday, my best friend, and am grateful for the doctors. They said she would inevitably die soon, but lived for another 8 months. Thank you doctors!

    Agreed. I'm a hospital registrar in the emergency room. The last thing I do is place an ID bracelet on the patient, lightly grasp their hand, and reassure them. It isn't much. Sometimes, it makes a difference.

    I'll never understand how parents can be so cruel. When you're pregnant, it's "I don't care if it's a boy or a girl so long as they're healthy." And then they drop their kids like trash when they can't handle something. Parents like that should be ashamed of themselves and never allowed a moment's happiness.

    I think because of character limits, they skipped a comma, but I read that several times like "dad had shot your mom" and "your brother wounded your sister" as if the dad and one child had both gone crazy. Had to read it a couple times to get it right.

    I happen to respond well to emergencies, and completely fall apart afterward. This poor mom must have felt so panicked and lost. I can't imagine seeing my child in distress like that and not knowing how/ not being able to react. It's a nightmare I'm blessed to not have, and hope I never have.

    YESSS!!! I'm an aspie. So is my son. We suspect my husband is as well (that's why we get along so well - we understand each other's quirks). Vaccines do NOT cause autism. Even if they did, I would not trade my aspie struggles for whooping cough, rubella, measles, or any other disease I've been vaccinated against. I am a bright thread in the tapestry of life. I am different, and I am worthy.

    Holding hands is very powerful. My brother was in an accident far away from home. Nurses in the hospital came everyday to talk and hold his hand. My brother, big man, said it was the kindness that kept him fighting and recovering. Most of the time we are afraid of touching. We shouldn't.

    Yes, it is so important. I was in the or, leaned over the surgical table getting a spinal tap done for the first time. I was so scared, and the nurse put my head on her chest and stroked my back and told me kind things. I was so shocked at the comfort i took from her gesture. I felt like I was with my own mom.

    When my Fallcon was admitted to hospital the last time, he asked me "are these the ladies who are going to help me die?" and then he said "thank you" to them. That's a rough job to have, but I know he died with as much dignity as they could give him.

    I read somewhere that the reactions of people in an emergency call on a Bell curve. 10% of people in an emergency are able to take charge and direct the needed response efforts. 80% will cooperate with what the leaders tell them to do. The last 10% will blindly panic and will sometimes interfere with rescue efforts. Nobody knows how they will respond in an emergency until they are in the middle of one. This is why first responders, medical people and the military train so much. They are least likely to be the ones who panic, but they train so that their training will take over if the mind fails them initially.

We were kids, turned grownups. He'll be graduating kindergarten and turning 6 yo on December 9th. FOREVER THANKFUL FOR DOCTORS AND NURSES. Thank you for telling your story :)
