I can't seem to get off the medical/hospital subject. (Maybe one of these days!)

Here's the latest Well blog from the Times in which Dana Jennings writes about some of the nurses he's known.

I can't say enough good things about the nurses we've encountered over the past 11 days.

One got my dad up out of bed today! A real step forward, so to speak, though my understanding is that he just stood up.

I talked to him on the phone after the Big Event.

I have no qualms with his surgeons, either, who broke the stereotype of cold and robotic and terse.

Both have spent time with us they probably didn't have. Three cheers for these folks, who know who they are.
