		<description><![CDATA[Pat was one of several patients that I made home visits to as a nurse, following up after her chemo and radiation for a tumor in her neck and jaw.  Physically she was doing fine and her outlook was tremendous.  However, her family had an attitude that could sink a battle ship.  Even though Pat valued laughter, her family felt her condition was much too serious to permit using humor. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It is obvious that the state of health care today is no joke.  But it may be a laughing matter, if one understands the premise that humor oftentimes is generated by painful circumstances.  There is nothing funny about unlimited resources, job security or a physician who responds quickly and cheerfully to a nurse’s request.  The things that make nurses laugh tend to be the very things that drive nurses crazy.]]></description>
