gentleman in his 80s came to the hospital. I heard him saying to the nurse that
he was in a hurry for an appointment at 9:30. The nurse had him take a in
the waiting area, him it would be at least
40 minutes someone would be able to see
him. I saw him his watch and decided, since I
was busy ---my patient didn’t at
the appointed hour, I would examine his wound. While taking care of his wound,
I asked him if he had another doctor’s appointment. The gentleman said no and
told me that he to go to the nursing
home to eat breakfast with his . He told
me she had been for a while
and she had a special disease. I asked if she would be if
he was a bit late. He replied that she knew
who he was, and that she had not been able to him
for five years. I was , and asked him,
“And you go every morning, even though she
doesn’t know who you are?” He smiled and said, “She doesn’t know me, but
I know who she is.” I had to hold back as
he left.
