May the ER rooms be empty this holiday
To the nurses, clinicians, paramedics and all medical professionals working this Christmas Day: I hope the ER is empty and the operating rooms are quiet. May the night be silent and the roads safe. Thank you for giving up your holiday with your family, to provide care and comfort to mine.
Thanks again - because this probably wasn't the first time that you worked on a holiday. Tidings of comfort and joy, peace on earth and goodwill to all men. Please, at least for today. Merry Christmas!
