The Story Teller

As I was rushing to the loo at the mall this afternoon, I can’t help noticing an old woman in a wheelchair. Obviously, she is a patient at the clinic about two units from ours.  She seems to be alright except for being a little pale. The nurse was holding her hand as if trying to say that everything is going to be fine.  She was a petite and good looking nurse with kind eyes. She was wearing one of those colorful scrub tops popular nowadays. Good thing they have that now instead of the traditional white. I have nothing against the color, in fact, I love wearing white shirt at home. I do believe, however, that when a person is ill, it helps his or her recovery to see something colorful.

I guess colorful scrub tops were created not only to make health workers look nice but also to bring hope to the patients.
