mini-meeh

i sometimes wonder what really is the big deal about my being short? i mean, it is true that i am the shortest person in the OR but i believe that isn't a great issue at all since i am good at doing my thing. i am a good nurse. i am an efficient one, too. having said that, i kinda think why some of m colleagues both nurses, surgeons and anesthetists alike take notice of my height? i am not really that offended since it is a fact that i am barely five feet tall but for goodness sake, do you have to remind me that everytime???? why can't i just get a pat on the back or shoulder as a way of telling me that i did a good job--- not that i expect for any, but i'd rather take that sometimes than make fun of my shortcoming.

i may be short but i am one of the good nurses and maybe one of the most patient nurses in the unit. you won't even hear me talking back to anyone--- if i really can contain myself, i'd do that. and if never let anybody's mood affect me as much since, i always tell myself, we are only human and we sometimes wake up at the wrong side of the bed... and i tell myself, it's not always about me nor the doctor's. it's all about the patient's well-being-- always.

so, even if i am four-feet and eleven inches tall. i am more than six-feet in my forte. and being able to help others makes me taller.
