1. A table, in the resident’s room, covered with shiny pink-blue-yellow candy wrappers, a sign next to the mess reading, “a present from Zhi—, she went to china and brought us candy.”
2. I pass another attending in the hall, we are both in weekend casual – jeans and no white coats. We don’t stop as we walk past each other. He says to me, “Hi, working today?”
3. In the cafeteria, I buy a diet soda (a ‘pop’, because, hey, it’s the Midwest) and realize I have forgotten to bring any money. The cashier, who knows me, says, “don’t worry about it, go upstairs and get your money.” As I leave, another woman in line smiles and says, “don’t worry, I paid for it.”
“But, I work here. You shouldn’t have done that!”
“It’s okay, I work here, too.”
“That is so nice of you. Oh you didn’t have to do that. Thanks! Thank you!”
- Acts of kindness happen around here, all the time, they happen quite a lot, actually. I am always incredibly touched.
