My admiration for people in the health and health related fields is enormous, especially for hose people involved in long term care and terminal care. I spent two summers working in the dietary deptartment for a hospital with an attached nursing home. Even in dietary, where we rarely ever SAW a patient, the emotional stress could be enormous, as you saw a particular diet shift from solids, to liquids, to next to non-existant, and then stop. I had it relatively easy, as I wasn only there for a few months at a time. My hat is off to those who not only perform their jobs, day in and day out, but remain careing and compassionate.
