Temporary Home

Sometimes you just need to tell them how you really feel

 This is my home while I am here

I only ask that you Treat me 

As you Would want me to Treat you 

Were our Roles Reversed.

I understand you Are Busy  

It Is not like I have

A choice in this Matter.

If it were Possible

I would go home.

I simply ask for

Dignity & Respect

Kindness & Compassion

While I am here In my Temporary Home.

Author's Note

There are those who work in the medical field who should probably choose a different career and there are those who make up for the others. This is directed at the first set.

Edited because I chose to.

This poem speaks for many people, Constance. We have all known people in professions that did not suit them. You are so right when you say that there are others who make up for them - so many nurses are angels on earth! I hope you are in your actual home now, and feeling well!

My husband is now in Rehabilitation for the broken leg he suffered on June 15, 2015. He has been in the hospital since that day. It is an 80 mile trip one way and I must work to keep bills paid so I cannot be there. He calls me and tells me stories of people who are not nice and it breaks my heart. This is from my heart to the ears of those who care for others.

Thank you for your reading

Very true Constance. I've been in "this" temporary home. I can only imagine being in a situation where you have no control and the people who take care of you aren't the best of people. Being stuck with inconsideration is never going to be fun. They should definitely look elsewhere.

We find these types in all career paths, Constance...I know teachers who teach because of the holidays and police officers who police because they like having a gun and power... some people choose jobs because of money or prestige but fail to do that job well because it's not something they are passionate about...

It must be touch for patients in the health care system to have to depend on some health care workers who clearly aren't there for compassionate reasons...

good job in airing this issue...
