And, um, uh, when I was in nursing school, um, I was working evenings and nights 'cause I was married and I had a young, young little girl, so I, I needed some income.
So I was working as a nursing assistant on kind of an odd unit.
It was like a combination of, uh, pediatric patients, dialysis patients, and u- male urology patients.
So it was just a, kind of an overflow unit, but it was where the pediatric patients were taken care of.
And we had this little, little guy, uh, named Bradley who...
And I'll never forget Bradley, which you'll soon find out why.
Um, but Bradley had been hit, uh, on his bicycle, had been hit by a car, and had like multiple pe- pelvic fractures and hip fractures.
So he had, he had all of these, um, pins in his, in his hip and pelvis, and he, he really couldn't move.
He was in traction, couldn't m- move, and he was with us for like a month.
And, you know, I'm a g- I'm a guy.
He, he, he liked me.
Um, so I just, I stayed assigned to Bradley for like almost the entire month he was with us.
And his parents both worked.
They...
There wasn't a lot of family, and the family they, that he had, um, most of them were out of state, except for his parents.
But his parents weren't able to be there a lot.
So I just felt for the kid and, you know, he, he got really bored, uh, 'cause he couldn't get up and walk.
