These are Few of my favourite things (at work):

• Parent’s tears with newborn’s first cry
• My patient’s facial expression when I tell her the biopsy is negative for cancer
• The nurses’ smile when I arrive on the floor
• Calling my patient’s partner after her surgery to tell him/her everything went well
• My colleague asking to cover part of my call so I get a nap to get over my cold
• A “Thank you” from a grateful patient

I just received this “Thank you” box of chocolate and a thoughtful card from a grateful patient after her surgery
