The Kindness of Compassionate Care

"The purpose of human life is to serve, and to show compassion and the will to help others."
~ Albert Schweitzer

A professional colleague of mine was traveling overseas when she ended up at a hospital in London with an infection.  A hospital employee in this country, she was struck by the compassionate care that she received in England.  The hospital staff told her that they were very sorry that she had wound up in the hospital during her vacation and did their best to have her out as soon as possible.  Weeks later, she still talks about their kindness.
