3:49 am

My patient. I can hear you breathing... there in that room down the hall. Alone in your silence, holding on to life but just barely. A lifetime is contained in you but it seems that time is soon to be at an end for you. Can i help you? Give you some comfort this night. Wipe your brow, ease your pain, hold your hand. Can you hear me? Oh to know your thoughts and be able to help you more fully. We do our best to show you care and respect. And so, i'll come to you again, massage your hands, ease your body into a more comfortable position, sit beside you and watch the clock ticking by...
