Today is the last day of our favourite Micronesian patient who has undergone coronary artery bypass graft. Luckily, it is our unit meeting so the staff members were almost complete so when they requested for a group picture, it was almost hard to squeeze in everyone in the camera phone. But just before the picture was taken, the patient’s wife has asked for a minute to say something that sent chills to our spines. She and her husband were so thankful for making our institution their second home. She almost broke down into tears saying how they appreciated what we have done for them. I almost cried myself when I saw his husband, a tall man with a body of a wrestler, wiping his tears. The man rarely speaks English and his wife usually communicates with us for him. She even added that the staff members in our institution are like loose diamonds which are hard to find.
