This is totally selfish on my part as I am a health care professional. But please make an extra effort to thank your health care professionals and all the employees over the holidays. They want to be home with family as much as you do but they are there, working because illnesses are rampant during the holidays and moreover many of you wait until now to be seen because you want to do it when you are off. Many people are stressed over the holidays and come in, in ill moods and treat health care professionals rudely. Please don't do that. They have to work during this time and have no choice in the matter.
Please be courteous and more over......THANK THEM for being there while everyone else is off having fun. Think of them as you would our military personnel and thank them for their service to you!!
