I had a massive heart attack and was taken by ambulance to the ER at the Christiana Hospital. Those people saved my life, and that is something I will never be able to repay in full.
However, what happened afterward, during my time in the ICU, is why I am writing. Amy was so kind, and gentle, but at the same time made me feel certain I was going to fully recover. She seemed to instinctively know what to say at any given time, what I needed to hear, even if I didn't know myself, that was what I needed to hear. She spoke to me, as an individual, not some stock answers rehearsed and cookie cutter for all patients. She shared some personal experiences that related directly to what I was going through, and that spoke volumes to me. For her, what I was going through was more than just a patient. No pun intended, but Amy's heart is invested in the way she does her job. It's obvious her work is a passion for her. I won't ever forget that Amy was my ICU nurse, guide, and comforter.
