OK, let's get this straight

You're being committed for 6 months? *JK*

Volunteering at a hospital is a wonderful thing to do. Patients need contact with people with good attitudes, rather than just overworked nurses and aides. The nurses and aides have good attitudes (mostly--you can always find an exception but thank god, they're few) but they are overworked and there are too few of them so patients don't always get the attention they need. So, good for you!

And you're right; there ARE wonderful things that go on there. I've worked at a major medical center for well over 20 years and have had the privilege to see the wonderful stuff that goes on. I'm so damned proud of the M.D. researcher I worked for because he is on the cutting edge of medicine and is in the forefront on some techniques that have helped people regain sight and hearing and stay alive. You wouldn't think lipid research could affect so much, would you?
