Respect

So despite my telling of stories, physiological explanations and 6 months of chatter to Toshi about my job, apparently he never really got it. It being the seriousness of my new position. It being the level of acuity that I deal with on a daily basis. It being the never ending battle, life and death.

My roommate works with a nursing student. He was talking about me and where I work to his co-workers at which point she cut in with "He works there!? That's like THE ICU."

He came home and told me he finally realized what it was that I was doing. 6 months of talking about my job and all it took was two lines from someone else. :P

On the other hand, it's nice to know my Unit is held in such high esteem. Prestigious even. No pressure. :P
