The Charge Nurse

It was twenty minutes until group, and the charge nurse wanted patients to go outside onto the patio for some fresh air before we all had to be dragged in for the day.

The resident had just walked up to me, and wanted to talk to me during that time instead.

"It's really important for [Jae] to spend time outside," the charge Nurse said in response to the resident wanting to speak to me. 

"Okay, well, I can come back after group," the resident said.

I had never seen a nurse stand up to a doctor like that before, and for me. She stood up, for me.
