Laura Vater: I decided to treat every person in the hospital as if it were their hardest day

Laura Vater, Gastrointestinal Oncologist at the Indiana University Melvin and Bren Simon Comprehensive Cancer Center, shared the following on Twitter:

“Once, a woman stopped me in the lobby. “I’m sorry, I can’t find the ICU.” I showed her where to go. An hour later, I was called to the room—her husband was dying from cancer. That was the day I decided to treat every person in the hospital as if it were their hardest day.”
