Alberto L. Medina

Midwife and nurse, Bogotá

🇨🇴 Bogotá, Bogotá D.C., Colombia
Bogotá Maternity Hospital
Since 2002
Spanish, English

I've been a nurse for 24 years, most of them in mental health at Bogotá Maternity Hospital in Bogotá. Night shifts taught me patience, and patients taught me everything else. The thing I'm proudest of is that families usually remember my name. I bake for the whole street at New Year.
