Her staff would be the reason. As a RN the whole healthcare system is always failing for reasons not spoken verbally but most of America is watching the deteriorating of our healthcare systems. But these women genuinely want to help people.

09/12/2025

Once again knocked it outta the park with friendliness and swift efficiency. Perhaps a bit too swift, though. Sometimes hard to get a few more words in before they wanna leave for their next patient. But that's okay, I over-elaborate and "over-think" too much anyway.
