俄亥俄州哥伦布讯——当维诺拉·韦恩结束58年护理生涯最后一次下班时，这场退休送别绝非普通仪式，更像是对一位为患者倾尽心力的“圣人”的册封。
1965年，年仅15个月大的马可·霍普在祖母家玩耍时，圣诞树起火。他身体85%的面积被三度烧伤。
“去医院的路上，我死过两次……他们都没指望我能活下来，”霍普回忆道，“消防队员找到我的时候，我左手里还攥着一个被烧熔的玩具。”
霍普被送往如今的俄亥俄州哥伦布市全国儿童医院，当时烧伤科有一位刚入职、还在接受培训的新护士。
“我和他之间有种特别的联结，”韦恩回忆道，“尽管他伤势严重，我还是说‘你会活下来的’，因为我从他的眼睛里看到了求生的意志。”
“我父母总跟我提起这位护士。早上她在，晚上她在，夜里她也在，”霍普说。
当被问及父母是否认为这位护士救了他的命时，霍普答道：“没错，绝对是——如今我也这么认为。”
“如果当时没有她，我今天就不会站在这里了，”他说。
如今的霍普已与妻子蒂凡尼结婚12年，育有两个孩子，他作为学校行政人员兼教练拥有一份不错的工作。
这一切都在韦恩的意料之中——当年这个小男孩的求生意志令她深受触动，她甚至给自己的儿子取名为霍普。同样，霍普也对韦恩的仁爱印象深刻，称她为自己的守护天使。
“在我还不知道该如何抗争的时候，她一直在为我争取，她从不放弃，”他说。
在退休送别会上长达五分钟的起立鼓掌后，霍普陪同韦恩走出了医院大楼。尽管韦恩已经结束护士生涯正式退休，但霍普说她永远拥有另一个头衔：“你是天使。你就是天使。”

Nurse of 58 years who went above and beyond for patients gets special retirement send-off: “You’re an angel”

COLUMBUS, Ohio — When Wynola Wayne walked out of work for the last time after 58 years as a nurse, you could tell this was no ordinary retirement send-off. This was the canonization of a saint who went above and beyond for her patients.
Back in 1965, Marco Houpe, who was just 15 months old at the time, was visiting his grandma’s house when a Christmas tree caught fire. Marco had third-degree burns over 85% of his body.
“On the way to the hospital, I died twice. … They didn’t expect me to make it,” Houpe said. “When the fire department found me, a toy was melted in my left hand.”
Houpe was brought to what is now Nationwide Children’s Hospital in Columbus, Ohio, where a brand-new nurse — still in training — was working in the burn unit.
“And there was such a feeling of connection with him,” Wayne recalled. “And even though those burns were extensive, I said, ‘You’re going to survive.’ Because I could see it in his eyes.”
“My parents used to tell me about this nurse. In the morning, she was there. In the evening, she was there. At night, she was there,” Houpe said.
When asked if his parents credited this nurse with saving his life, Houpe said, “Yep, absolutely” — and he has come to believe the same.
“If it wasn’t for her then, I wouldn’t be here today,” he said.
Where he is today is married to his wife Tiffany for 12 years. They have two children, and Houpe has a good job as a school administrator and coach.
None of that surprises Wayne, who was so impressed by the will of that little boy that she named her own son after him. Likewise, Houpe was so impressed with Wayne’s compassion that he calls her his guardian angel.
“She fought for me while I didn’t know how to fight. She would not give up,” he said.
After a five-minute standing ovation at her retirement sendoff, Houpe escorted Wayne out of the building. And although she is now retired as a nurse, Marco says she will always retain her other title: “You’re an angel. You’re an angel.”
