"If you make time for silence, the sacred will unfold." --Rod Stryker
The Sacred Ordinary in Healthcare
Sacred acts. This is how Dr. Venu Julapalli would describe the seemingly mundane, at times unglamorous, services performed by a team of caregivers looking after his mother who, after the sudden rupture of an aneurysm in her brain, was largely unable to care for herself. These caregivers saw the human behind the hospital gown, and treated their patient with the tenderness and compassion a loving family member would. In this heartwarming letter of gratitude, Dr. Julapalli reflects on the humanity he witnessed, and the often overlooked acts that bear as much importance as those which save lives.
BE THE CHANGE
Find a small way to show someone you care for them today, be it a stranger, family member, or close friend. Perform your act without the expectation of receiving anything in return.
