Heartwarming.

Today on rounds. . . .


This is a snapshot of the medical student on my team with one of our patients--performing their own little "morning ritual."  Each day on rounds, this patient warms up the student's hands before she performs the exam. It's been their own little thing between them that, normally, no one else is around to witness.

But today, I was.


a therapeutic touch. . .



And now you were, too.


The power of touch goes both ways. . . . . yeah.

Happy Sunday.
