    This story only tells us a tiny bit about Dave and misses the most important part -- his heart. Dave is a seasoned, but seemingly unjaded, ER veteran. He treats the frequent visitors with warmth and compassion. He teaches students to think about the entire patient -- social situation, financial situation, past medical history, etc. Working with Dave, a man who leads by example, is a joy. So glad that he was highlighted. Now you need to feature the amazing work his wife does!
