My first job in healthcare was in a veterans hospital. There were so many alcohol dependent residents that there was a pub in the basement to dispense the “medicine” and not stigmatize the residents. There was beer on the med carts for those with limited mobility.
My business partner from a past business was a former marine who had been through AA and was/is a sponsor. Every time one of his buddies would come in I’d ask if he knew him from the marines or from AA and the answer was always both.
It was residential so they were never leaving. There was joy there as well. It was not the most tragic wing of that facility. Health can be hard because you are witness to the worst day of someone’s life. Every day.

That must have been a heartbreaking job. Thank you for your service.
