When I walked the floor to stretch my legs, I passed a room that I noticed was plastered with posters and decorations -- the kind of stuff that suggested the patient had been in there for a LONG time. And this was a children's hospital, mind you. Immediately, I snapped out of my "this is taking longer than I thought" mood, and right into "thank God we're going home soon and that this wasn't more serious -- what's a couple hours?" It's unfortunate that it sometimes takes something like that to give us perspective...but sometimes it just does.
