One of my co-workers was working in the biopsy room and was running behind schedule. She and I are not the "best of friends." I saw that she was getting overwhelmed, so I got her next patient ready for her to help her out. That was my gift for day 4.

I think I'll get started on round two. I have really learned a lot, it has been a great experience. My first give of round two is a pledge to everyone else here, especially the first timers, to comment more on other people's post and offer them the same support and encouragement I have recieved here. Thank you all for your wonderful gifts.
