I visited my relative in the hospital, where I met nurse Merlyn. She was taking care of my relative with compassion and empathy. She was joking with him, and despite the pain that my relative was experiencing, Merlyn made him laugh. This simple encounter made him forget his pain. The patient said good things about her, and now I realize why. I saw it with my own eyes, she is one of the nurses for keeps, and only a few nurses are like her.
