I covered a sick call today on the medical unit. Staff who work regularly on general medical units deserve respect and free coffee. Working with frail elderly and medically complex patients is rewarding and challenging but never boring. This patient was very sweet and cooperative, but I wouldn't be surprised to see them back in hospital soon. And kudos to families who are doing their best to provide loving care for a parent or loved one who is failing physically and cognitively. It's hard to understand unless you've been there.
