Nurse Abigail made conversation with him to brighten his day and loneliness.
It's the personal touch, the caring words, and the dedication to her nursing profession that makes Abigail extraordinary and outstanding. T was hospitalized with pneumonia in January. Because of bad weather, I couldn't be in to visit. Nurse Abigail made conversation with him to brighten his day and loneliness. A favorite topic is camping, which is a mutual love. This, in a special way, helped his recovery. He came home quicker and recovered quicker because of your hospital care. She also provided discharge and a ride home in a blizzard. Abigail provided a safe, warm, and happy ending for T. She lives in the area. I could not pick him up. I am 87 and do not drive in those conditions. I know you have many great nurses, but Nurse Abigail could be a role model for helping the whole patient with the compassion of a "Top Gun" professional nurse. God bless her and your hospital for the differences you make in our community. I, too, have been under your excellent caring staff. Thank you for all!
