Saying Nice Things To Your Doctor

Do you ever say nice things to your doctor?  This lady did.  I'm just minding my own business when a strange lady came up to me at the nurses station.
Woman:  Dr Happy.  I know you don't remember me, but I remember you.  You took care of my father five years ago this month when he died in the emergency room.  I can't thank you enough for what you did.  I will always remember you.  Thank you so much for everything you did.  You will always be remembered.
Happy:  I appreciate that.  Thank you very much
Nurse:  That's going to make me cry.
Happy to nurse.  How 'bout that.  I'm usually getting yelled at instead.
In a job that often deals with entitled and  and thankless patients, it's always nice to know some people out there can still give thanks for a job well done.    Whomever you are lady, thank you for your kind words.
