A brighter smile

I Went to the dentist and had my teeth whitened yesterday. It was a little painful but I like the results. Just decided to do something nice for me.
Nursing story: This one left me so sad. In one bed was a man with terminal lung cancer. He had taken a lot of pills, left a well written letter of goodbye, but his family found him and called EMS and they brought him to us.
Across the hall was an elderly woman with non hodgkins lymphoma who could not start treatment because she couldn't pay for it.
One wanted to die, one wanted to live. We failed them both.
