Thank you for sharing this wonderful story, and giving honor to this beautiful man who graced your ER! My most valuable moments in my nursing career have been with patients in moments like these - moments that transcend the present situation, allowing us to share in our humanity. I came across a podcast recently discussing what’s known as “The Pause”, developed by ER nurse Jonathan Bartels, and how the concept has been used and is being studied across the country. It was so worth the listen, and speaks in a similar way, giving purpose to slowing down and honoring the story and person we care for. Take a listen, and let me know if you have trouble accessing the podcast!
Thanks for sharing that, Mackenzie. Moments that transcend....I love that! I am a big fan of The Pause and never knew the backstory. I’ll check out the pod!
To add, if this link doesn’t work, it’s a part of Johnson & Johnson’s See You Now Podcast, episode 5: Pause for a Moment. I was able to find it by googling the podcast.
