Covid hit hard. One patient on full support was stuck in a tough spot. His brother-in-law smuggled him a beer (yep, really). The nurse had a heart-to-heart, saying this was a marathon, not a sprint. Guess what? Dude got better, left ICU, and gave his wife a hug. ICU team felt like champions — a real win in tough times.
A kid with asthma was getting help, and his grandma was wiped out caring for him and her sick son.

Everyone laughed, she had a blast, and passed that night. Classic!
This guy really hated the hospital. So much, he joked he wanted a photo of the hospital on his gravestone — so God would know he already did his time in hell and couldn’t be sent back. Not dying, just seriously over the hospital life.
