One of our senior medical students shared this inspiring story about an Emergency Medicine physician's expression of how he was touched by a dying patient http://m.cbsatlanta.com/w/main/story/85029303/
In turn, his revelation of an emotional connection provided some measure of comfort to the patient's family.
Although this story did not happen in Peoria, I think it could have. Over the years I have read letters in the newspaper and heard comments from families who deeply appreciated the compassion and caring shown by our local emergency room physicians and nurses during some the darkest moments in their lives. I am grateful that our students are able to train with such inspiring role models.
