Reverting to the orange ray

[Jeremy]

The medical field can be a fickle environment when it comes to dealing with ones personal catalysts. It's especially difficult when you are surrounded by jaded other selves who whine about why such and such a person is coming to the ER for a simple cough or because they don't manage their diet properly thus resulting in diabetic issues when they could have solved them by simply living a healthier lifestyle. I too used to be like that but then I chose to realize that regardless of the reasons they are there, they need help so I reciprocate by giving the help.

Though my job as an xray tech is far less patient oriented as ankh's position as a nurse, I make those few minutes count towards listening to a myriad of woes that are completely unrelated to the matter at hand. Comforting these other selves in any way that I can along with providing a loving touch of reassurances that all will be well.

To be able to have first hand access to other selves in such a perilous time is indeed a unique opportunity that beckons those like us to do our very best to put away those jaded thoughts and realize that no matter how bad our life seems, they are the ones that need the most help at that given moment thus our issues take a backseat for the greater good of those other selves who so desperately need to be encouraged to know that everything will get better
