Something away from the normal MMM stuff, but from reading various posts from MMM folk over the years, folk's health sometimes features, so when I was sent this from a friend who works in our NHS in an operating theatre, I thought I'd share it - IMHP well worth a read and a bit of reflection............
💖Dedicated to all my friends/Colleagues 🥰
To be a surgery nurse/ Operating Department Practitioner/Support workers💖
From the time you put the blue scrubs on your family comes second. Long days, long cases, no lunch, no breaks. An incision is made with hope for a cure, but the cancer has spread and you close without closure. The baby is born but no breath is taken. 999 has been called. A&E starts the code. Surgery is notified. An incision is made. The bleeding won't stop. The injury is too severe. Compressions are done but no pulse returns. Breaths are given but the sats keep falling. Beep beep beep ................. No time to rest. No time to stop. The next add on is here. The surgeon awaits. No time to grieve. No place to hide. Your shift is just started. Rarely do you hear praise, or a pat on the back. The patients don't remember your name or that you prayed with them at the start. The surgeons concerned with what is next, why aren't we in the room? You are the unsung hero. The person without a voice. You are beaten, broken, tired, and ready to go again. You have no quit. You just keep going. Day after day. Call hour after call hour you keep doing what it is that you do. Calm fears. Hold hands. Save lives. They may not remember who you were or what you did for them, but you do. You know that they are able to see their kids, grand kids, husbands, wives, parents, and friends again because you were there for them at all hours of the day or night. To all my co-workers, and to all the Surgery nurses/ techs everywhere. Thank you for what you do. Thank you for who you are. I know what you do. I know what you give up. I know the impact on your health and on your families. I know that you wouldn't change it for the world. We are Surgery 💖we are Outstanding.💖💖
