Mia Christine,
I'm not a provider and just another client.
I hope that I didn't sound too callous, about just another client!
I simply wanted to thank you from a client to a beautiful lady, which stayed calm, took appropriate actions, stayed at a hospital (even though you didn't have to), and beyond to care for another person.
What you did, really shows what type of woman you truly are inside. I just wanted to sincerely thank you for our actions.
To stay on topic; I did just the opposite as you did; but for a two separate providers when I lived in the Far East. One provider had food poisoning that you mentioned and I couldn't agree with you more! The other provider had an bleeding ulcer, that ulcerated shortly before our session, and came into full effect when we were meeting each other, and she was actually vomiting blood.
I took both ladies to the hospital, stayed with them until they were stabilized. I then left the hospital and returned the next day, and for three days after for the second woman.
Being a patient in the Far East is far different than in the West. Families generally bring food for the patients, and since neither woman had a family,: I brought their food for them, and of course under under a physicians diet recommendations. Since they both were ladies; I made sure that I brought flowers for their room, and made small talk to take their mind off their pain.
On a lighter note, the second girl was admitted and was forced to wear a hospital nightgown, which she complained about. I'm not trying to one up you Christine. This is when I realized for the first time how much a woman cares about her looks even in a hospital. I went shopping and using my
"keen, male fashion sense!" I selected a very nice nightgown for her; IMHO. She was extremely grateful, wore it immediately, and not one complaint of color either!. For my remaining two years in Korea, when she was unoccupied; I got called, and only had to buy the food/dinner for us.
I suspect that this man will be the same, and will come back to you. Men love nurses which care for them!
I will be interested also, in seeing other providers stories.
