At the self-care unit I go to, there is a Phillipina tech (only nurses do needles here, techs clean the machines and do supplies etc.) who comes around mid-run with tea or coffee for patients.  She makes a great cup of tea and has a good sense of humour so I really look forward to her "rounds" while I'm too tied up to make my own darned tea.
