The nurse washes, cleanses, and dresses the oozing blisters, gives him fresh socks from a supply room but notices the ragged sneakers of the veteran. The soles were unglued and flopping with no support or protection. The nurse took off his own, nearly new, Nikes, and laced them onto the homeless veteran's feet.
Kudos to a fellow VA Nurse for providing exceptional care to a Vet in need.
