The 8 Hour Emergency Room Blues
By admin | October 17, 2009
We had a little health scare in the Becker household (everyone’s OK, thanks for asking) Wednesday. Since our family physician was away on vacation, we ended up in the emergency room. It was the usual drill, health insurance info, blood work, x-rays, awaiting results, working to the top triage queue, finally leaving after 8 hours.
As it happened, I had a copy of Peaks and Valleys: Making Good And Bad Times Work For You–At Work And In Life by Spencer Johnson, M.D. in my bag. I took advantage of the “wait time” to do a little reading. “Peaks and Valleys”
Let me share a favorite passage from the book which is “Make Reality Your Friend”. As I sat waiting for my wife to return from a CAT scan, I tried to ascertain the reality of our situation. The reality was that Joan and I were tied of the process, but in truth things weren’t so bad. A group of skilled professionals were working to find the problem and get it fixed. Due to that effort, we found out her condition was not life threatening, treatment was straight forward and both of us walked out under our own power. None the worst for the wear.
Wishing you a larger life,
BB
