Paper patient gown

I disrobe for a napkin?

You in your white coat.

Art Prescription:  I know it’s election day…hard to top that, but I’ve been taking my clothes off all over town, lol! Don’t worry, just my wellness visits. I never noticed all that much before how cold and uncomfortable paper patient gowns were until I recently saw a new physician who uses the real thing. Soft gown and a real blanket, how comforting. When you already feel exposed and vulnerable, it’s amazing how small things matter. Kept my socks on!!!

Life is Story July 17, 2014

Her or His story

Glory moments left unheard

Unless we listen.

Art Prescription:  At work at my nursing job today I was thinking about the patient’s need to tell his or her story. Too bad in the computerized, fast, electronic world of taking care of humans, the time to sit and truly listen to your patient’s story is being lost. Good health care providers realize that this is what “care,” “health-care,” is all about. Standing tall on my soap box!!!
