If you saw my last post, you know I am in the hospital.
Like Gilligan it was supposed to be a three hour trip.
Then it became an overnight. Then three more days, now they say 'weeks'.
Life pro tip: if you find yourself in a hospital, do not make friends with the doctors and nurses. No matter how good looking and friendly they are.
If you do, they will never let you leave.
Now, where you come in. I need ideas on how to thank my captors.
This whole thing has been a horror show for me. The only reason I have kept a shred of sanity is because of how outstanding the staff has been. They have all done more for me than I could ever ask for or expect. One doctor came back after she finished a 30 hour shift, so she could bring me her phone charger after my battery died.
She's a saint. And she's not alone. I have worked in many hospitals, and never seen such an outstanding and caring bunch.
Lots of hospital staff are good. But these ones are next level.
They hang out with me when they are on breaks.
I need to show them my gratitude. But how? I want to do more than just say thank you. I am willing to spend money.
So I came to the smartest, wisest group of people I know for ideas.
They were busy though, so now I am asking you.
I want to do something special.
Ideas?
There's a good number of great people here. 5 that have been very involved, and a bunch of great nurses as well. Though they tend to be busier than the doctors so they don't have down-time to hang out like the doctors.
I don't think a group outing would be possible. They work crazy hours and would be unlikely to all be off at the same time.
I am thinking some kind of group gift for the nurses, and something individual for the docs.
I may have to pry into their personal lives a bit to get some ideas.
