Reflections of a Medical-Surgical Nurse is a collection of poems written by a nurse about everyday interactions with patients. ­ This reflective book, though light and easy to read, offers an insight into some of the essential aspects of patients and patient care in a subtle way. A compilation of poems not only for nurses, but also a thoughtful read for all. Caring for patients is a privilege. They entrust their lives to clinicians during some of their most vulnerable times. Each one of them deserves excellent care. It is not a one-person mission; it takes a whole team. Patients may not always say it, but they never forget the kind of care they received.
