Heaviness.

Speaking of my so-called cranky patient... he left today.  Spent a good 45 minutes discussing rehab with him - reassuring him, applauding him, scolding him.  The best of both worlds, I tried.  His poor nurse, though....  his constant gripes, complaints - at least I could escape from it.

On  my drive home I received a phone call on my cell phone.  An unknown number, I answered it.  It was my 55 y/o female patient upon whom I did a routine pap on...  and it revealed trich.  She has been married 20+ years.  

It was one of the most difficult phone calls I have had.

I am praying for her tonight.
