28 years ago, this nurse cared for a baby and now they are colleagues
Those who have experienced such a difficult experience — premature birth, know that it is very difficult. The baby, so tiny and defenseless, is entangled in wires and lies in a special box. Will it survive…
Fortunately, now the answer “yes” is heard more and more often. After all, doctors have learned to nurse children with extremely low weight — literally the size of a cup of coffee. And 30 years ago, everything was different and largely depended on the attitude of doctors and nurses to their work.
Wilma Wong worked at Stanford Children’s Hospital for 32 years. Dozens of babies passed through her hands, which she managed to get out. But she never thought that she would meet one of them again.
A before-and-after photo appeared on the official Facebook page of the hospital (an extremist organization banned in Russia). In the “before” picture, Wilma, very young, in funny round glasses, holds a tiny baby on her lap.
He was born 11 weeks premature, but turned out to be a real fighter and managed to survive. In the «after» photo — Wilma now. Next to her stands a fellow doctor in a medical uniform and with a badge on his chest. This is the very tiny baby.
The boy’s name is Brandon Seminator. An unusual surname that touched some strings in Wilma’s memory.
“I started to remember. I think I had a little patient with that last name. To make sure, I asked if his father was a policeman,” Vilma said.
The guy looked at the woman in surprise and slowly answered: “Yes, he was.” At that moment, Brandon realized who was in front of him. Wilma is the same woman who married him. His mother told him about her.
Upon learning that he was going to work in this hospital, the woman said: “Look for Vilma. It is unlikely that you will find her, she is probably already retired. But suddenly».
It suddenly happened. Both were simply shocked, realizing that they had met so many years later, and even under such circumstances.
“The circle is closed. I was taken care of in this hospital, and now I nurse children here along with the woman who nursed me, ”Brandon never ceases to be surprised.
