I AM at work in your hospital

We often refer to God as our Great Physician but here Bex Lawton imagines what other roles God might take in the multi-disciplinary team

Let me introduce myself to you
look at my yellow badge. ‘#hellomynameis I AM’
Did you know that I work in your hospital?

I AM a surgeon. Skilled with my powerful right hand. I AM steady and precise. I AM the leading expert.

I AM a first responder. Beating everyone else too it. I’m fast. Quick to answer to your call.

I AM the ward clerk. Constant. Keeping everything going. The glue that holds everything together.

I AM the nurse who holds your hand, soothes your dry lips, and sees your healing through right to the end.

I AM a porter. I can access all areas. Hear me now! There is nowhere off limits to I AM.

In the delivery suites and birthing rooms, I AM
In A&E, I AM
In the outpatient clinics, I AM
In the theatres, I AM
In the blood bank, I AM
and guess what, in the morgue. I AM too

I AM the cleaner. Doing the dirty jobs. Scrubbing, scraping, scouring. I love a deep clean.

I AM the pharmacist. Meticulous and precise in my working. I am safe.

I AM the CEO on the Board of Directors. I carry great authority.

Ha Ha Scrap that! I AM the Health Secretary, even. I govern all!

and I AM the patient, the stranger you meet. Naked except for that hospital gown.

That’s right
I AM I AM I AM

Keep an eye out for I AM in your hospital.
Amen.
