Abstract
The following essay shares a reflection about how a community health nurse forged a bond with a family over the course of decades. The author explores whether the therapeutic benefit of the 17-hydroxyprogesterone was indeed due to the medication or the caring relationship between nurse and patient fostered by weekly visits together.
