I love my internship at Agency XYZ, which provides clinical mental health services to people living with severe and persistent mental illnesses.
Today, a sweet female member of the program pulled me aside and told me she'd been feeling dizzy and faint earlier in the day. I expressed concern and asked her to inform her primary care physician, whom she has an appointment with this upcoming Monday. "It's probably nothing serious, but tell your doctor just in case," I explained.
"Aww, you don't have to be worried about me," she reassured me, patting my arm. "You're like a mother hen. You'll make a good mother." This woman has melted my heart a few times, and this was one of them.
Suddenly, I heard another female member's voice shoot out from behind me. "Panthea, you're pregnant?"
I spun around on my heel, snorting out a laugh. "No!"
"Oh, good. Your education is important."
Sound advice. Thank you.
