Spent the day in the Emergency Room as an advocate for a family member.
Lots of pain in there, physical and emotional. One can only sympathize with those in pain. Empathy, to feel what another person feels, is impossible. Physical pain is a private, unsharable phenomenon. One can only understand it when one has it. There is no pain memory. After the pain is gone one cannot remember how it felt. But one has a better appreciation for others in pain.

That’s the Emergency Room…good to have an advocate, I’ve been there alone…(K)
Yikes, K! That must have been awful.
It was! but luckily many years ago.
