We Need The Chaplain
Hello everyone. Praise the Lord!
I was just sitting in the downstairs nurses station taking a little break from my hectic morning. Our hospice is only half full today but the nurses were running me ragged today! So I was taking a break and chatting with them.
That's when they received a call from a room upstairs. They were looking for Tony, our volunteer chaplain. He is a Catholic deacon and one of our many volunteer chaplains. I know him well because we both volunteer here on Saturday mornings
One of the nurses said that he was visiting a family in one of the back rooms, so we waited for him to come out. He was not coming out, so I walked over there to see if he was still there. I walked in and asked the family if he was there, they informed me that he had left about fifteen minutes ago.
I went upstairs to look for Tony, and walked down the hallway to the family that asked for him. A few family members were in the hall crying and several were standing around the bed in the room! It appeared that the patient had just passed away!
I ask the family members in the hall if the chaplain had been there, they said that he had been there and had just left! It looks like I was still one step behind Tony! Now that I knew that he had been there already, I went back downstairs and informed the nurses.
Have you ever had to look for someone? Can you tell me about it in the comments section?
