6 Pages ~ PRACTICAL WISDOM ~ Friends, if you don't mind, I am going to sit down so that I can talk to you and say some of the things that I've felt so strongly about. Walter was saying, I didn’t have any idea he would comment about it, but I want to say again that I really feel that way. I can remember so many times being on cases that I have been so grateful, that I wasn't faced with the problem of being in that room..

and having to unsee what the nurses were having to unsee to do their jobs, and their assistance has just been so helpful, appreciated and I want you to know that I really do feel that way. I'm not just saying
that, and I am saying that to all of you. Now, I think if there is any place in our healing institutions, or in the thrust of the healing movement, where the mental attitude is important, it's with you people. Because you are the ones that those patients are really attuned to. It seems like its a human thing, that when you are in a position of helplessness, as the patient feels, they turn towards those to whom they are looking with a greater degree of dependence and a watchfulness of their attitudes in what they are doing, what they are saying. More importantly what 'they are thinking than almost anyone else they are in contact with, and the time they spend with the nurses is so much greater than it is with the practitioner, that's it's becoming, I believe, one of the primary things that has to be considered, and so when, I was asked to talk about practical wisdom, it seemed to me a very-appropriate thing, the most appropriate thing that anyone could ever consider in regards to nurses that theirs be a practical wisdom.
