Just another example of nurses going above and beyond for their patients. I still have tears in my eyes.

I know. And his arms...he's got veins that make me swoon.

You can't see his veins on this video, but they had him as the "Person of the Week" on ABC World News Tonight​. When I saw those veins, I had to laugh, since he's an oncology nurse.

Haha stuff like this happens all the time in pediatric oncology. A patient I knew married a cardboard cutout of a certain celebrity several years back. When the celebrity heard, he agreed to meet her. When she died, it really did seem like he was affected by it.

Agreed! We do some crazy stuff on our floor. From the whole staff running into a room to sing let it go for a sad patient, to holding prom on our floor, to dance offs, you name it, someone has probably done it :D
