If you believe for a moment that the technology you support is separate from yourself, you are mistaken.It is you. Just as your arms, your legs, and your heart are fully you.It is your eyes watching over someone who deserves the attention, and your eyes looking for things that need to be noticed. It is your ears listening to a symphony of life, or a desperate cry for help, or a quiet whisper of hope.It is your hands on someone who is very, very afraid, or is finally relieved of their worries, or so full of joy they can’t hold it inside any longer.You are there during the greatest of human miracles, and the deepest of personal tragedies, and you are there when lives change in a blink of an eye.If a patient where to ask you, “what is your role in all of this?” You reply with conviction,“All of these blinking lights and beeping noises, and all of these dangling cables and dancing screens, are my eyes, my ears, and my hands. We are watching over you. We are finding you answers. We are caring for you with every part of ourselves.”
