the doctor cutting away the dead flesh of the skin tear
the nurse rubbing my calf with cream and swiftly wrapping it ankle to knee
the technician applying gel and pressing the probe hard against my veins
the phlebotomist swabbing my arm and skillfully inserting the needle
the hematologist patting my shoulder after listening to my lungs
my cat gently tapping my chin after being told how beautiful he is
