This morning, my patient asked me which direction was east so that he could pray.

I love requests like that. It's hard to give a person everything that he or she wants when that person is a patient in your medical facility. Really hard.

So when something comes along that may seem like a small thing to me, I like to step back and realize it may not be such a small thing to that person. 

And after taking 30 seconds to think that, I took out my iPhone and opened up the compass.
