At shelter clinic my desk is just a few feet from the front desk, where guests can walk up and say what they need. When I hear “well I just got out of prison and need to see a doctor” I drop what I’m doing and walk over.
when ur days off aren’t even the tiniest bit relaxing because u have to catch up on normal life stuff AND u also have the bandwidth to think about all the other things u have to do 🙃🙃🙃 #internyear#sendhelpplz
