And I can’t help but think about how much dignity your uncle brings to people who’s dignity has been trampled on or is not apparent to themselves. I’m excited to hear that there is someone in the position like your uncle. My dream job should I not need to be paid someday would be to work as a chaplain at a domestic violence shelter. I want to use my skills for those who can’t always access services like spiritual or mental health. This is a huge difference for me between my last hospital and my current one. I enjoy serving people of many backgrounds, not just those who can afford to come to a specialty hospital like my last one. Although I sure miss some of the amazing surgeries and innovative care going on there. Where can I combine both!?

Also pretty remarkable and unfortunate that there’s still such prejudice against carnival workers that a hospital, for pete’s sake, would refuse them good care.
