On the night shift, we tend to see people with really serious problems — victims of car accidents, violence or illness that can't wait until they could see their doctor.
But we also get new parents bringing in their baby at three in the morning because they're scared ... the baby is running a high fever, or vomiting, and they don't know what to do.
We know what they're going through — we're parents, too — and they know they always have someone to turn to for help, even in the middle of the night.
