As a nurse working in the emergency room, I meet a lot of patients every workday. Yet those special “patients” on that Christmas have made a   21   impression on me.

It was unusually quiet in the emergency room on December 25. I was   22   about having to work on Christmas when a pale woman and four small children,   23   that they were terribly sick, showed up at my desk.

But when it came to descriptions of their problems, things got a little  24  . They all claimed to have headaches, but the headaches weren’t  25   by the normal body language of  26   the head and trying to keep it still.

Something was wrong. Our hospital policy,  27  , was not to  28   any patient. I explained it might be a little while  29   a doctor saw her. She responded immediately, even a bit  30  .

“Take your time,” and then she added, “It’s warm in here.” At this, I checked their registration form out of  31  . No address—they were homeless. And the waiting room was  32  .

I went back to the nurses’ station and mentioned the family in the waiting room. The nurses,  33   to a family just trying to get warm on Christmas, went into action just as we do  34  there’s a medical emergency. But this one was a Christmas emergency.

We prepared meals for our Christmas  35  . We put together oranges and apples in a basket. We collected from different departments candies, crayons and other things   36   that could be presents. As  37   as we met the physical needs of the patients that came to us that day, our team worked to meet the needs of a family who  38   wanted to be warm on Christmas Day.

Later, as the family walked to the door to leave, the mother came  39   back, gave me a hug and whispered, “Thanks for being our  40   today.”
