Taking care of patients, like any job has its good side and its not so good side.  One of the things I love best is when I get time to visit with an elderly patient.  They have lived longer than the rest of us, and have learned more.  The elderly patients who are the happiest are the ones that talk about their family a lot.  They also are usually the people with the most visitors in the hospital.  Of all the things they have learned, it is family they value highest.
