Thank you, Trisha.

It helps me feel better to think that I'm helping others.

My first full-time job (40+ years ago) was working for a large medical center. As part of new employee orientation, we were taught to be sensitive to the patients. I remember the leader's words:
"Nobody is here because they want to be. They're hurting. They're scared. They're in a strange place where everything is unfamiliar. We can't ever forget that or fail to be sensitive to what they're going through."

I feel that way about Mayo Connect. We're here to be sensitive to each other, help each other, or at least give a little moral support.
