Just had to share...

I'm in triage now and this 20-ish y/o lady walks in, says "ya'ah'teh" (Navajo for hello) and shakes my hand. She lays a package of the large tissue/wrapping paper for making backgrounds on big bulletin boards down on the desk and says "this is to decorate your bulletin boards. I wanted to bring this to you and say thank you because you all have helped me so much here."

I thanked her and before I could get her name, she turned around and walked out the door.

It is an odd gift, but when you think about it, in a place where every hallway is lined wall-to-wall with bulletin boards and pictures and whatnot....probably one of the MOST thoughtful gifts someone could bring.

Plus just the whole principle of the thought. Made my night!!

    Y'Know, I've always have very positive interactions with Navajo folks - very friendly & courteous. Figured they just thought I was one of 'em (I am, in a sense - fair amount of Native American ancestry, but not Navajo) but perhaps not.

    Ah-sheh'heh.

    I have been a travel nurse on the Navajo Reservation in northern AZ for about 9 months and can that I have grown so much as nurse! There have been a few patients, but you'll have those anywhere, that upset me, but overall I have had only good experiences here!

    One nice patient makes up for about 10 crappy patients. ( Unfortunately, the ratio tends to be 11 to 1. :)) What a great gift!!

    I had always said that gifts come from the most unexpected places and people :bow:
