This book shows sixty-two stories plus of events that occurred during the forty years of being a nurse. Some of the stories can be happy and funny events, while others can be sad and heart-breaking. The stories started to occur to a young man who went into nursing during the Vietnam War in 1967, and these ended in 2008. It talks about so many people suffering and dying and the employees who opened up their hearts to comfort the patients and their families. Many cried with them in the final hours of life.
I was a nurse and hospital supervisor for a total of forty years. And I often cried with the patients, their families, and the staff. I was glad to be able to be there to support all of them who needed my support. However, it left me scared for life. Every time I see a happy movie or sad movie with a happy ending, I find myself crying. I became a crying man when I left nursing. My heart goes out to all who are still supporting the very critical and dying patients. God bless them all.

Autoren-Porträt von Thomas J. Cortez
The book is about a young man who started as a licensed vocational nurse at age eighteen. He started working in the emergency room in one of the three trauma hospitals in the city. There would be 90 to 110 patients of severe trauma every day. After eight months, this young man was drafted into the army for the Vietnam War. Many who went there never came back. However, this young man was drafted and stationed in Germany. There he was assigned to be a medic to an engineer unit. Later on, he was assigned to work the emergency room and surgical intensive care unit of a large military hospital. After two years in the army, he returned to the same emergency room he started from. After working in trauma ERs for six years, he transferred to work in a medical intensive care unit where he continued to work with the survivors from the ER. After twelve years at this hospital, he transferred to a new hospital and helped start a new hospital from the ground up.
It was at this point that he changed the face of nursing by asking the administrator to pay overtime for those that worked over forty hours and to add weekend and ICU differential pay. He also convinced administration to increase the rate of evening and night shift differential pay. He also requested that a $2,000 bonus for new hires in the medical surgical units and a $3,000 bonus for new hires in specialty areas, such as the ER, ICU, and OR. So this young man started supervising three different hospitals for twenty-eight years.
To this day, nurses get paid more because of this man. He was not there for the money. It was because of a journey of taking care and supporting not only nurses but all staff taking care of critical and dying patients.
