Mistaken identity you'll love
Grumpy:
I hope they enjoy this one as much as I did. Most of my docs hide out from patients, but you took this one head on!
Bravo!
Stay tuned...

Hi RehabRN,
My name is Taylor Lunin and I’m reaching out on behalf of the I’m Here Movement; a nationwide effort to honor and inspire nurses to know the power of simple human presence as the cornerstone of caregiving.
Here’s a little about the I’m Here Movement and it’s beginnings…
As a college freshman, Marcus Engel was blinded and nearly killed after being struck by a drunk driver. The night of the crash, a 20 year old PCT in the E.R. named Jennifer held his hand and refused to leave his side. Her presence and words, “I’m here, Marcus…I’m here” provided more security and comfort than anything else could have done in those vulnerable moments.
Marcus Engel is now a professional speaker and author who provides insight and strategies for excellent patient care. His books, “I’m Here: Compassionate Communication in Patient Care” and “The Other End of the Stethoscope” both share the story of Jennifer…and yet? Jennifer has also been the missing piece of the puzzle for two decades.
Marcus has been sharing the story of I’m Here for years, but never knew Jennifer’s last name, her position in the E.R., no way to contact her…nothing.
Then, in January 2013, something special happened that kicked off the I’m Here Movement. To learn more, please visit:
www.ImHereMovement.org
and be sure to watch the Marcus meets Jenny vid. It’s incredible…I promise!
To help spread the I’m Here Movement, Marcus is reaching out to nurse bloggers. We would love to send you a complimentary copy of “I’m Here: Compassionate Communication in Patient Care” and some of the I’m Here Movement wristbands. No obligation, no cost, no strings. If you like the site and the book, we would love it if you’d consider sharing the info with your followers. Thanks for your time!
Sincerely, Taylor and Marcus
P.S. To receive your complimentary copy of “I’m Here: Compassionate Communication in Patient Care”, just send your address to Marcus directly at: Marcus@MarcusEngel.com and he’ll get it to you soon! And, if you’d like to learn more about Marcus and his work, please visit:

Thanks Taylor!
While I don't normally accept gifts, I'll gladly share it with all who read my blog.
Caring is the biggest part of being a nurse.
Thanks again!
