Carolyn's Story

English

English with Korean subtitles

When Carolyn’s mother told her, “He’s just tired; he needs to work less,” Carolyn suspected that something more was going on. She flew to visit her parents in Hawaii and learned that he was dying of liver cancer, the result of chronic hepatitis B. Carolyn regrets how quickly her father’s health deteriorated, and yet she cherishes the time they spent together in the hospital. She recognizes that the experience helped her find compassion for her patients, in her own work as a nurse.

Carolyn's story is available in English and with Korean subtitles.
