RN, May, April, 2008 In honor of National Nurses Week, Dr. Ronald W. Lindsey, chairman of orthopedic surgery and rehabilitation at UTMB, wrote: "I usually admire people who can do what I can't (or won't) ... I guess it's just human nature. Every day I'm confronted with such a group of individuals. They are the quintessence of everything that should be healthcare; they symbolize caring, trust, stability, hope, sensitivity, tenacity, and altruism. They are nurses."
