For the past 40+ years I have been a chaplain at varying times in a city hospital, a community mental health center, an academic medical center, a community not for profit hospital setting. I have seen patients from all places on the economic spectrum, gender, disease modalities, injuries, emotional difficulties and reactions and more. I have seen the staffs that work with these people – some of whom are bright, curious, well educated and highly motivated; and some who are simply putting in their hours of the job, dull in mind and spirit, and uncaring.
