12 hours. That is how long I spent sitting in the emergency room waiting area with my 82-year-old father yesterday. I was informed by the nursing staff that the main hospital was full therefore ER patients needing admission couldn't be admitted. This then caused a back-up resulting in a consistent stream of over 40 patients waiting all day in the emergency room for care. But I share this because of what else I noticed. The staff from nurses to techs and housekeeping to security were all pleasant in their demeanor with the patients and each other. They answered the same questions around the room over and over with compassion and empathy. This resulted in a waiting area where the patients, remained calm. I heard a few grumbles of frustration but everyone understood what was happening and most felt heard. I have heard some reports over the years of very difficult leaders in that hospital in other departments. However, it appeared yesterday that this department as understaffed and overwhelmed with things they could not change as they were, maintained a culture of care and compassion.

How would your staff have reacted? The medical community struggles as whole to practice what they preach with self-care and compassion toward others. I challenge those of you in the medical community to evaluate your staff during these types of moments. Then look at how you can grow in your leadership to create outcomes that show compassion to the patients as well as the staff.
