Chaplain Intern

I just got a visit from the chaplain intern during my dialysis session. He seems to be a nice guy but very Korean. It was a bit difficult to understand him. He also said he was diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease 11 years ago so maybe that affected his speech. I think he said he was with Korean Presbyterian Church and found it interesting that I went to a mostly Korean-American church but I’m not Korean.

He is walking around basically cold calling patients and talking to them. It was a nice 15 minute break but I only got ~80% of what he said. Since I’m at a non-profit Catholic hospital, I should be expecting more of these visits. I wonder if non-Christian patients will be as patient with him.
