A Story About Care

[@toryberch]

Wow! What a very poignant story ❤ I am entering Palliative Care and when he talked about "Who's caring for you"? That really touched my heart.

I am a nursing student in Halifax no and it is a matter of months before I begin my practice. I wish to be this nurse for everyone of my patients ,I vote to never loose sight and to always care, because you sir a very right ... that is why most of us choose this profession. ❤

I will never forget this video. I hope that when I feel like I don't have time for my patients in the future, (cause there will be day my head will spin because i am so busy)I stop reflect and on what I have to do so I can find that time to sit, listen and talk to m patients.Thanks you!

This video has been used as an example as part of our nursing diploma. It was teaching us how we need to remember that patients are people and the simplest thing like holding someones hand or talking to them has a lot of meaning. So yes, we are now being trained this way and I'm very grateful as I've been on the other end of a busy Dr's behavior and I will never forget how awful that felt. It resonated with me.

I commend you for making this video. As a 22 year veteran paramedic and educator, I think that your video should be shown to all new paramedic students as well as nursing and medical students. It should also be shown to existing medical practitioners of all disciplines to remind them that what we do not only has to do with the science of medicine, but the often overlooked and forgotten humanity side of what we do. I would love to be able to show this to my co-workers and students. Thank you.

On the day I graduated from High School, I stepped out of the lineup as we were supposed to walk to the stage to give Jim a hug. He taught more than just the lesson plan, but life lessons I will take with me forever. I am currently working toward getting my BEd, and if I can be half as great of a teacher as Mr. Mulcahy, I will have done great! Thank you Mr. Mulcahy for being such an inspiration in my life.

As a critical care nurse of 29 years, I was blown away by this video and the lessons that Jim has to teach anyone who watches it. I felt compelled to share this on my President's blog for the Canadian Association of Critical Care Nurses available at blog.caccn.ca/wordpress/?p=301

There aren't too many educator's with as much finess and passion as Mr. Jim Mulcahy. I could list all the ways I admire the man, as a teacher, as a scholar, but most of all a person, but it would never do him any sort of justice and it would certianly be terribly long. I only had him for grade 8 english and a couple of plays, but what I learned from him has stuck with me and has proved invaluable. I wish the Mulcahy family as large a miracle that has ever happened.

Unless you have any issues with this......I am going to show this video at my next paramedic education session to remind them why we started doing what we do and also to the new paramedic class beginning this month to show them one of the most important reasons that we do this job and not to get tied up in the science end of our jobs and forget the human side of what we do, which all to often gets forgotten. Again, I commend you and wish you all the best. Barry

This is amazing. It was sent to me from a friend who knows this family. I work in Palliative care in Victoria and was hoping to share it during a staff training on Monday. I can't figure out how to upload it or get it onto my computer... not too savvy on that. Any thoughts? And also, I'll e-mail you (above address [e-mail]) this week and share the feedback from the nursing staff training.

An incredible story told by an incredible man! Mr. Mulcahy you have touched so many lives through your ability to inspire your students and you continue to do so through this video. Thank you! (Jennifer McKenna Polson)
