Humble Me.

Today I had an experience that tested every sense from within my body, from smells, to sights, to heart-breaking sensations, and an opportunity to utilize my healing touch. I worked all day at the Minneapolis Convention Center at the Project Homeless Connection. We serviced over 3,000 homeless people and their families with health care, a warm meal, hot Starbucks coffee, tools to get kids in schools, resources to find employment, new glasses, massages, warm coats, fillings in cavities, and chiropractic care, to name a few. I was one of 3 physicians that triaged and adjusted lines long of hurting people. I personally cared for over 50 individuals, and received homeless hugs, blessings, high-fives, and tears after a quick 5-minute hands-on experience. I had no clue there were this many homeless people in the U.S, much less the city of Minneapolis. How thankful I am to come home to a much-taken-for-granted warm home.....

I am a changed woman, and a much more empathetic doctor.
