She added that her mother's"endless compassion for other people" has been reflected in her dedication to her patients."My mother worked night shifts, she worked weekends, so I had to kinda take care of myself. My brother and I would make dinner and everything. She was so tired, but she just loved her patients," Witherspoon said."She did labor and delivery; she did neonatal intensive care. I would bring her doughnuts, her and the other nurses.
She continued,"And that's how I feel whenever I see a nurse, because I think to dedicate your life to caring for people is one of the most noble professions that exists. Thank you for your incredible hard work, taking care of people during this very difficult time." Witherspoon wants to use her platform to highlight the work of more practitioners."As an actor, we get so much attention," she said,"but my mother and father—my dad was a doctor, my mom was a nurse—I've watched my mother save people's lives. Whether it was save a kid from drowning—she helped her very best friend who had a bad accident when we were very little, and I watched her resuscitate her on the side of a highway.
