Solobiker, you make difference in your job professionally. But take care of yourself also ..so that you can give well to others.

My partner's mother is 92 and has been in nursing home for past 18 months. It bothers him to hear his mother fret if she will make to her birthday...this coming Feb. She even wonders if she will make it past this Christmas.

The nursing home is part of a major teaching hospital so there is the best care given here with experts and high ratio of health care workers per patient. But still difficult to see...

My baby sister (who's 38) is a family and emergency services doctor. She emphasizes that families sometimes have this romantic idea of having their loved one die at home. The thing is that many people find it difficult to care for and see their loved one...die.
