Susan, is this the world you want?

I have been thinking a lot about my friend Vicki.  I know that her birthday is coming up and I think that is why I have been "camped" thinking about her.

This week this broke at work (I work in Research):

B.C. Cancer Agency nurse banned for falsifying patient records

Susan D'Aloisio admitted to falsifying records of patients' vital signs over at least a seven year period

This story has made me pause.

I had to think back to all the amazing staff that works at BC Cancer Agency Vancouver Island Centre, next door to my office, who are amazing, brilliant, compassionate and professional...and thank God for them.

I would hope that they get to the bottom of Susan's breech--I know that they said that no patients were harmed during the time of this treatment, but in the back of my head lingers....how much further ahead would Research be if she had been honest.

Honest people.  Whether you are a garbage truck driver or a nurse.  Honesty in work--Integrity in work--work ethic....it's a reflection of who you are..at the core of your being.  Who you are (at the core of who you are) affects the people around you--whether you want it to or not.

Susan, is this the world you want?  Just wondering.

THE WORLD YOU WANT LYRICS

SWITCHFOOT

(Verse)
I’m kickin in the pieces
I’m trying out the innocence
I’m trying to fix a place that feels broken

(Verse)
All my words are failing me
My voices don’t unveil me
I’m trying to say the hope that’s unspoken

(Chorus 1)
Is this the world you want?
Is this the world you want?
You’re making it
Every day you’re alive
Is this the world you want?
Is this the world you want?
You’re making it

(Verse)
The roof is so malicious
We thought like it will miss us
Feels like a way in business lost

(Verse)
‘Cause when I stop to listen
All the moments I’ve been missin
I finally hear a voice I can trust

(Chorus 1)
Is this the world you want?
Is this the world you want?
You’re making it
Every day you’re alive
Is this the world you want?
Is this the world you want?
You’re making it
Every day you’re alive

(Chorus 2)
You change the world
You change the world
You change the world
Every day you’re alive
You change the world
Honey, you change the world
You change my world

(Verse)
You start to look like what you believe
You float through time like a string
If the waters of time are made up by you and I
I change the world for you, you change it for me

(Bridge)
What you say is your religion
How you say it’s your religion
Who you love is your religion
How you love is your religion
All your science, your religion
All your hatred, your religion
All your wars are your religion
Every breath is your religion yea

(Chorus 1)
Is this the world you want?
Is this the world you want?
You’re making it
Every day you’re alive
Is this the world you want?
Is this the world you want?
You’re making it
Every day you’re alive

(Chorus 2)
You change the world
You change the world
You change my world
Every day you’re alive
You change my world
Honey, you change my world
You change my world
