Hospitals.

I think that the people working in hospitals are courageous. I think they are mostly people who have had taken a serious look at life at least once in their lifetime. And to my dear friend who's working in TTS, you have my utmost respect for your profession. It is really not easy.

Such an insight i've gained after my very first visit to the ICU this evening. The whole atmosphere is so....sombre. Not dreadful, just really sombre. It's kind of peaceful, but not quite it. With a mixture of hope but at the same time not too overly hopeful about things. Although the nurses are all in blue shirt and pants, i still can't help but describe them as '白衣天使' , a chinese phrase to describe nurses as angels/ambassadors of Heaven. 

The nurses are so 'steady' looking....being really serious about their jobs. They are seriously optimistic. I really salute them for choosing to work in the MICU unit. 

Nurses and doctors are here to help protect lives.....to people who don't believe in a god, these nurses & docs might just be the answer to their prayers.

Of course i know that what i've seen and reflected upon may not be what it really seems for some cases in some other departments or hospital...but in general, i choose to believe that ppl hold on to altruistic intentions and that's why they choose to enter the medical profession. Stereotypes of high pay and prestige aside, i believe that these ppl would have been compelled to take a serious look about life at least once in their lifetime.

Hospitals - new place of discovery.
