Mercedes E. Cortés
Midwife and nurse, Medellín
- 🇨🇴 Medellín, Antioquia, Colombia
- Medellín Maternity Hospital
- Since 1987
- Spanish
I've been a nurse for 39 years, most of them in midwifery at Medellín Maternity Hospital in Medellín. 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'm always reading two books at once.
Hearing from old faces is the best part of my week.
More about Mercedes
I still get cards from families years later. They're pinned to my fridge.

What gifts mean to Mercedes: I'd put gifts toward a training course in palliative care.
