Week 3 Reading Dairy Continued: The Nurse Who Kept it All Together

For the second part of the Aesop’s by Jacob’s unit, I really enjoyed the story about the parts of the body all coming together, and seeing that everyone has a job to do. They realize that without the stomach, they are all pretty useless, even if it gives them less work to do. Some jobs may not seem as important as others, but without them it would be hard to get by. I think for this story I would like to focus on a group setting, like in a hospital. In this hospital there would be a bunch of important surgeons (think Grey’s Anatomy). There would also be one nurse who is assigned to help all of these surgeons in the rooms. The nurse is like the stomach because although the nurse’s job seems easy, and not very important without her, the surgeons would not be able to perform any surgeries. For the part without the nurse, she will be home sick, and the hospital could not find a replacement quick enough. This makes the doctors realize how slow their day is going. Without the nurse there to prep the patients they can barely see two patients in a day! The absence of the nurse makes doctors realize how valuable she is to their team. They even start to think that she may be the most important part because she really knows how to keep the patients calm, cool, and collected before big surgeries. She also is very good at her job, and helps the surgeons focus on the task at hand.
