"Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It's not." -Dr. Suess

Ah, Dr. Seuss. Such a person with a great deal of wisdom!

This quote came from the book, "Caring: Making a Difference One Story at a Time". The book is published by the hospital, Kaiser Permanente, and is full of stories from employees of the company. My friend is a RN and I've heard tons of stories these past 10 years. You really have to be a caring and giving person to work in the medical field. Those of you who tune into the TV show, "Grey's Anatomy" get a snippet of what's involved in taking care of patients.

What I've learned from all the stories my friend has told me is that all people need is a little kindness in their life. A smiling face...words of encouragement...or even just a hug. That's enough to make a difference in someone's life.
