It was unusually quiet in the emergency room on December 25.I didn't think there would be any 36 , sighing about having to work on Christmas.Just then five bodies _37 at my desk, a pale woman and four children.
"Are you all 38 ?" I asked.
"Yes," she said weakly and lowered her head.
But when it came to 39 of their problems, things got a little uncertain.Two of the children had headaches, two children had earaches, 40 only one could tell me which ear was affected.The 41 complained of a cough but seemed to work to produce it.
I didn't say anything but 42 that it might be a little while _43_ a doctor could see her.She responded. "_44__ your time; it's warm in here."
Then, I checked their chart.No address—they were __45__.The waiting room was warm.
I went back to the nurses' station and mentioned we had a homeless _46_ in the waiting room.The nurses, complaining of _47_ on Christmas, turned to sympathy for a family just trying to get _48__ on Christmas.The team went into action, much as we do when there's a 49 emergency.But this was a Christmas emergency.
We were all 50 a free meal on Christmas Day, so we took back that meal and prepared a big dinner for our 51 .We needed presents.We 52 from different departments candies, fruits and other things 53 that could be presents.As seriously as we met the 54 needs of the patients, our team worked to meet the needs of a family who just wanted to be warm on Christmas.
Later, as the family walked to the door to 55 , the four-year-old boy came running back, gave me a hug and whispered."Thanks for being our angels today."
