台灣嚴峻的醫療環境讓護理師的數量每年逐漸減少，剛加入護理行列時的吳淋禎也曾感到困惑，而打算放棄。直到得到來自病患的鼓勵和感謝，她才了解護理的真正意義，是在病人最艱困的時光陪他走上一段路；而最簡單的尊重，就能表達出對護理師們付出的珍惜，也能讓護理人員堅守白衣天使的使命。這一份尊重一點都不難，從三個簡單的步驟開始，聽聽淋禎怎麼說！
Taiwan's healthcare industry faces a shortage of nursing professionals each year due low salaries of nurses, long work hours, and high nurse-patient ratio. When Wu first joined the nursing profession, she too was on the verge of quitting until one day when she received words of encouragement from a patient's family. In this heartfelt talk, Wu shares three simple steps that anyone can do to help improve the working conditions of nurses; It all starts by showing a little respect and appreciation to your medical caretakers.

吳淋禎，區域教學醫院門診護理長，擔任護理師21年，從菜鳥護士到資深護理長，從外科、產兒科到門診，同事和朋友都叫他「阿長」。她說：「我是一個孩子的媽媽，也是40位同仁的母親」。喜歡在臨床中發掘生命的不同面貌，更喜歡跨界學習，尤其鼓勵同仁「用溫度帶來滿意度」。面對日益嚴重的護理人力問題，阿長說：「無法脫離就努力奔跑吧！讓人不忽視，就不是弱勢」。
