PHOTO OF NURSE COMFORTING SCARED BOY AFTER SURGERY GOES VIRAL

A photo of a five-year-old boy being comforted by his nurse has gone viral after her hospital posted it as part of Nurse Appreciation week. Slade Thompson underwent surgery to remove his tonsils at UPMC Susquehanna Hospital in Williamsport, Pennsylvania. The surgery was a success, but when Slade woke up he was understandably scared and wanted to see his mother.

The hospital uploaded this during #NationalNursesWeek.
