Hospitals?....Heman?...Kilts in the hospital

[Archangel]

My hospital experience was sad.
I was visiting my father in law, and I was kilted.
While I was in his room, an amputee kept going by and I could see from the corner of my eye that he was staring at me. He stopped by several times.

I didn't know what to say or what he was thinking. I still don't.

I didn't know what to say or what he was thinking. I still don't.

I find the best solution, for me, in that situation, is to smile, and say, "Hey, how're you doin' today?"

But then, I work in the hospital, and that gives people permission to talk to me, lets them know that I'm not too busy to hear their concerns.

This happened to me a couple of years ago when a neighbor at age 92 fell and was rushed to the hospital ER. I was able to go with her until some of her family arrived. I was Kilted of course and it was a rather busy day in the ER.

A little girl (about 5) arrived and was crying tons of tears, when she saw me she stopped crying and started whimpering to her mom and said that it must be a nice place because the Kilted guy smiled at her.

"Hey how ya doin?" Always a great ice breaker in awkward moments.
