I WAS LEAVING SENTARA NORFOLK GENERAL HOSPITAL HEART HOSPITAL ON THE 2ND FLOOR AND AN ELDERLY WOMAN ON THAT FLOOR WAS WAS WAVING ME INTO HER ROOM; SHE WAS ON LIFE SUPPORT;ON HER RIGHT SIDE. SHE ASK ME TO READ TO HER. I ASK HER WHAT PADSAGE. SHE SAID PSALMS. I OPENED AND STARTED TO READ TO HER HOLDING HER LEFT JAND TO COMFORT HER. I KNOW THE HOSPITAL IS STRICT ABOUT RULES AND FAMILY WITH PATIENTS. THIS WOMAN WAS SICK AND NEEDED SOME COMFORT OF LOVE AND AFFECTION. THE NURSE CAME IN AND TOLD ME I HAD TO LEAVE AND EXPLAINED THE RULES. THE WOMAN WOULDNT LET GO OF MY HAND. THE NURSE WAS A BIT RUDE TO HER PRYING HER HAND AWAY FROM MINE. HE SAID HE WILL GET SOMEBODY TO READ TO HER. SHE DAID NO YOU WONT.I HOPE GOD BURDENS HIS HEART TO READ TO HER CAUSE ALL SHE WANTED WAS COMFORT AND LOVE. YOU HAVE TO RESPECT OTHERS AS YOU WOULD HAVE THEM RESPECT YOU. IF THAT NURSES MOTHER WAS ALONE IN THE HOSPITAL YOU WOULD WANT SOMEBODY TO SHOW YOUR MOTHER RESPECT OF COMFORT AND AFFECTION DURING AN UNPLEASANT SICKNESS ESPECIALLY ICU OR ATLEAST YOU COULD CALL THE CHAPLIN TO READ TO HER. I KNOW WHEN IVE EVER BEEN AT NORFOLK GENERAL IVE ALWSYS BEEN TREATED VERY WELL BY THE NURSES WITH KINDNESS. WHICH IS WHY I WAS SHOCKED OF THE RUDENESS TO THIS WOMAN. IT SORT OF SAD THAT SHE WILL BE BILLED OR HER INSURANCE FOR THE HOSPITAL STAY AND ATLEAST SHE COULD GET A LITTLE COMFORT AND COMPASSION. IT DOESNT TAKE MUCH TO TAKE A BIT OF TIME TO COMFORT HER AND READ TO HER OUT OF RESPECT. IM PRAYING FOR THAT WOMAN & IM SOMEONE WILL COMFORT HER AND SHOW HER SOME COMPASSION. ATLEAST I GOT A LITTLE BIT OF TIME TO READ HER A FEW PASSAGES AND HOLD HER HAND TO COMFORT HER DURING HER ILLNESS ..
