Katherine Soh
“In its basic form, nursing can be seen as a duty, but beyond the incessant operational activities that lay the foundation of our daily work, the profession is all about grace. Helping people is a noble calling. It is a privilege to serve my fellow human beings. Fifteen years has seen many ups and downs at the workplace, but I have enjoyed serving the many patients who come into my care, and have prayed for the souls of those who were on the brink of death.”
― Katherine Soh, Nurse Molly Returns

Jolene Tan
“Brian organised for the body to be flown back.”
― Jolene Tan, A Certain Exposure
