Helping my Best Friend

Tweet

I am so happy to help my best friend today.She have been suffering of having a cyst on the lower portion of her breast but was so afraid to have a surgical excision thinking it is cancerous. So, I accompanied her to the clinic today.During the procedure, she was so afraid of the needle and the surgical knife. I was actually teasing her saying, "We NURSES should never be cowards of pain as we deal with patients everyday".But I guess it is easier said than done, like plumbers themselves can't help their own leaking in their pipelines at home huh! So to ease out my friend's anxiety, I offered my help to the surgeon, assisting him.He is a private practitioner and have no nurse assistant, so i volunteered.During the procedure the three of us were just conversing like colleagues and my friend became relaxed. The minor surgery turn out very successful.I am glad and happy that I encouraged my friend to undergo surgery as the wound is also getting infected.It turned out that it is actually a sebaceous cyst and harmless according to the surgeon.So there was no need for a biopsy of the tissue that was removed. I am thankful that she is at last operated and I am pretty sure she will do well on her recovery. What about you folks, in what way have you ever extended help to your friends?All are welcome to relate their stories.
