Tough Crowd

She has Down's Syndrome and Acute Myeloid Leukemia. This girl's personality fills a room. I walk in at the start of my shift. She's mad at me because I've told her she can't eat. "Leave me alone!" she pouts at me. "Get outta my face!" I try for a smile, "Can we be friends?" Silence. She rolls her eyes at me like a proper teenager. "Ok...guess I'll just be your nurse tonight." Tough crowd.
