"Nurses"

Photo courtesy of Tommy Cooper. Today's picture features a couple of folks the likes of which we tend to take for granted all too often. Day in and day out, they're there when we need them to lend a helping hand during medical emergencies and times of personal suffering. They work long hours in very stressful situations and they often have to deal with less than pleasant "customers". If it weren't for nurses, the world's hospitals and doctors' offices would be virtually useless. The photo above was taken by Mr. Tommy Cooper, and here is his story behind the image: "These are some of our OR nurses at the hospital I work at. I do not work in the OR, but they know I love taking pictures so the OR staff asked me to take some pictures of the them doing their jobs. I thought it would be neat if I would lay under the operating table and get some shots of the nurses looking down over me getting ready for surgery. This was one of the shots that they liked. The photo went over so well they used it for one of the hospital bill- boards. Whenever the hospital has events, I try to make sure my camera is always by my side. You never know what might happen and you are there to capture it."
