In the medical profession, the line between caregiver and patient is one that most hope never to cross. For Kent, a dedicated nurse in our hospital, that line became a harsh reality in the middle of an ordinary night. In this powerful and deeply personal narrative, Kent recounts the night his world turned upside down, transitioning from a seasoned Emergency Department nurse to a patient fighting for his life.
Through his harrowing experience, Kent offers a unique perspective on the profound impact of compassionate care — not just from the standpoint of a healthcare provider, but from the vulnerable position of a patient. His story is a poignant reminder of the unseen power our actions and words hold, even when we think no one is watching or listening.
Thank you Kent for speaking about this, and sharing your story!
