For gecko


and all those dedicated women who have had a gentle hand to help those who are suffering, a soft smile for the worried families, a kind word for a stressed colleague; those who have worked long hard, anti-social hours despite being ill or tired or have guided (and even comforted) the young and inexperienced doctor through those early bewildering years. We owe you a debt that we could never begin to repay.

There's one very tired (just finished a night shift in E.D.) lady sitting here with a big grin on her face. You just made her day, Mawm.

I have a very soft spot for the nurses that I have worked with. There have just been so many who have shown such dedication and committment (and a few that went beyond the call of duty. Mmmmm....).

Thank you so much--what can I say except that you cheered me up a whole lot. :-)

"beyond the call of duty"....LOL!

Good on ya Gecko.
