The Broken Man

Hopeless- that's the first word that came to mind when I met him. I've seen many people who suffered from all types of illness and go through such excruciating pain, but none exhibited the same look of hopelessness that I saw in that man's face. It was the look of a man who has accepted that his life has come to an end. It's the expression of a man whose spirit has been broken. It's the look that would later haunt my dreams.

Oh wow! Yeah, Ive heard they are really strict about drugs in middle eastern countries. That is so tragic. At least he had you as his nurse to care for him.

Your words are relishing in a manner of pain. The bounds of this world will hold pain in every corner if we cotinue to have the humbleness and humility to put ourselves in someone else's shoes. All I ask is you learn without being a sponge to what you have so gracefully articulated. You have the mind of a great healer...that much is obvious without having to meet you. I have a feeling that your ability as a nurse is reaching new unexplored territory.

God speed... :redpinkhe
